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.

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.
