CLASS DESCRIPTION
While purists don’t consider any handwoven textiles as lace (per Donna Muller), weavers for centuries have woven gossamer fabrics for clothing and table and bed linens.

You’ve heard of Swedish lace, Huck lace, canvas weave, Bronson lace, and more, but can you tell one from the other? Starting with the “first” lace structure, you will learn 

• what differentiates one from the other,

• how to accentuate your cloth with judicious color selection and accents,

• how to design simple arrangements of the lace blocks, and 

• what the availability of multiple harnesses can add.

Skill Level: This is not a learn-to-weave class; students must be able to properly warp a loom, and read a draft.

MATERIAL PACKET
Materials fee includes a notebook with extensive notes and bibliography as well as all drafts. Payable to Debbie Todhunter on day-of class - check or cash .

REQUIREMENTS

You will need to bring your pre-warped floor or table loom to the MAG for this workshop (you will receive an instructional packet before the workshop). Lunch will be provided both days of the workshop, but we would also like you to bring a snack to share. A (small) fridge, microwave & toaster oven are available to use. This class will be held at NEW MAG at 500 N. 4th Street. There will be a set up time on Friday night to drop off looms & set up.

LOOMS
When you register, indicate what brand you loom is, width & how many shafts. Please email us at murrayartguild@gmail.com if you need to use a MAG loom.
