A few times each year, Phg brings talented, well-known weavers to Portland to conduct workshops for members. Here's our schedule for 2011-2012:

October 2012

October 12 - 13, 2012

Anne Field will be here for a Collapsed Weave Workshop

This workshop will cover techniques that, when the fabric is washed, cause puckering, pleating, folding or bending of the fabric in various ways. This collapse is cause by the inter-action between different types of wool or lycra yarns, some active, some passive. Students will work on their own looms for the entire workshop. Weaving is basic, using mainly twill and plain weave structures.
