Intro to Jacquard weaving
In this course you will learn how to create Jacquard weavings from your original drawings, images or designs using Photoshop over two half day or three evening workshops + additional weaving time. You will also get a general overview of historiacl 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 loom for a small piece. We will send you more detailed information before classes start on type a warp sett and colour.
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. People will weave their own pieces outside of class time or can have them woven by a technician.
Refresher / Intermediate Jacquard Weaving
Take advantage of a variety of warp set-ups. 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 in class and some of the projects and be given access to weave at a scheduled time outside class time. There will be 1 or 2 day option and we can do it as a single person workshop
Requirements:
Intro to Jacquard weaving or previous experience with Jacquard weaving; you will need access to Photoshop and a computer; arrangements can be made to have your file woven for additional costs.
