Block Party

Presented by Robyn Spady

Do the terms “block design” and “profile draft” bewilder you?  Are you interested in developing new patterns and pushing your loom to new limits?  Whether you have a four-shaft loom and want to expand its potential or want to better understand what to with all those shafts, then this workshop is for you!  Through presentation, discussion, and weaving, you will develop a practical understanding of blocks, profile drafts, and how to use them to create new exciting drafts.  You will also examine the fundamental building blocks of many weave structures and how they can be manipulated into new designs and open up an unlimited number of new possibilities.  Minimum four-shaft loom required.  (Note: This is not a round-robin workshop).

As per our sliding-scale workshop fee schema, you will pay the event deposit of $140, and then, depending on the number of participants, you will be asked to pay the balance of the new calculated fee. The workshop will cost NO MORE THAN $265. If the workshop is filled, the total cost will be $140.

The final workshop cost will be set 3-4 weeks before the workshop.

In addition to the workshop fee, there will be a $10 materials fee, which will be payable at the workshop.

NOTE: all in-person workshop participants must be vaccinated against COVID.
