LACE WEAVES ON 4 SHAFTS
Just in time to celebrate a return to Spring, learn how to create woven lace in an extensive two day workshop!
Lace weaves are a large group of beautiful, elegant weave structures that incorporate interlaced threads with open spaces to create airy, three dimensional pieces of cloth. This workshop will explore several 4 shaft lace weaves, with examples of how to expand the structures to more shafts for greater versatility in patterning. Discussions of different threading units and weave structures for laces such as Swedish lace, Huck, Bronson and others along with specific characteristics of these structures will be covered in this extensive two-day workshop.
