About
Developing students skills in tapestry weaving, this course covers a wide range of techniques, starting with a demonstration of the warping-up process, followed by weaving samples of different techniques and ending with how to finish your tapestry sample for hanging.
Taking our designs from the stunning Valois tapestries woven in the mid 1500’s students will learn traditional methods from plain weaving to diagonals, stripes, and hatching. Students can expect to complete several woven samples over the duration of the course.
Throughout the workshop, there will be reference materials available to further enhance understanding and deepen students knowledge of hand woven weft faced tapestry.
