Intro to Jacquard weaving

In this workshop you will learn how to create a Jacquard weaving from your original drawing, image or design, using Photoshop over two half days or three evenings + additional scheduled weaving time.
You will also get a general overview of historical and contemporary Jacquard weaving.
Please bring several images on a USB Drive to your first class.You will create a file using simple weave structures in black and white or black with one colour. Weaving will be done on a computerized AVL Jacq3G Jacquard hand-loom for a small piece. We will send you more detailed information before classes start.
Requirements:
Image manipulation and proficiency with Photoshop is required and you should have your own laptop with some version of Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. A weaving background is helpful but not required and projects can be adapted to focus more on the design process or weaving.

You will focus on creating your own larger woven piece using single weft or multiple weft colours. Bring a few designs or images to the class and we will discuss beforehand various options. We will review and expand on the basic processes of design/image manipulation in creating a Jacquard weaving file.  You will work on your own design and will have access to an extensive library of weaves. You will weave samples and a projects.These classes can be 1 or 2 days and we will be working with you one on one and may involve different warp set-ups.
