Denise Kovnat Two Workshop Bundle
PURCHASING THE TWO WORKSHOPS TOGETHER IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. REGISTER FOR THE WORKSHOPS SEPARATELY.
This registration covers both workshops, Paint Two, Beam One and One Warp, Many Structures, as it follows that if we are going to paint and beam two warps, we want to do something with them!
When registration slows, the remaining places in each workshop will be offered separately.

Paint Two, Beam One
(from Denise’s workshop description) This workshop teaches students how to hand-paint two warps in different color palettes and beam them together to weave one luminous fabric on their loom. Students will plan their project, paint two warps in different but compatible colorways of about 4-5 colors each, and then beam these warps together in stripes or blocks of their own choosing. Many warp-emphasis designs — for 4 shafts and beyond — lend themselves well to this techique. The focus is on exploring the possibilities of color and learning new skills. Also, studio safety is detailed and emphasized. Skill level: Intermediate to advanced, although adventurous beginners are welcome.
Paint Two Beam One will be held via Zoom, with three sessions, March 13, 14, and 20th, 2022. The workshop sessions run from 9:30-10:30am, 1-2pm and 4-5pm, on the first two days, with only the first two sessions on the third day.
One Warp, Many Structures: Explorations In Extended Parallel Threading
Now that we’ve painted and beamed our two warps…
(from Denise’s workshop description) As Marian Stubenitsky has shown in Weaving with Echo and Iris, extended parallel threadings offer endless possibilities. In this workshop, designed for advanced beginners and beyond, you will arrive with your loom dressed in a two-color warp threaded on opposites. (Drafts will be provided about 6 weeks beforehand.) Working with a variety of tie-ups and treadlings, you will weave a series of designs in Echo, Jin (Turned Taqueté), Shadow Weave, Rep and Double Weave. The takeaway is a sampler of colorful patterns and a broader, deeper understanding of the potential for extended parallel threadings and how to design them. For 4-shaft to 32-shaft looms.
One Warp Many Structures will be held IN PERSON at the Beaverton Mill End Store, May 13-15, 2022. This is a 2 1/2 day workshop; we’ll start at 9am, and finish by 5pm on Friday and Saturday, and noon to 1-ish on Sunday.
With the minimum number of participants (8), the full cost of the workshop will be $390. As per our sliding fee scale, the more that sign up, the lower the total fee becomes. If we fill up, the total workshop cost per participant will be $275.
