Workshop: Doubleweave Discoveries with Jennifer Moore

Learn all about the magic of doubleweave! In this workshop, participants will weave a sampler that explores weaving two independent layers of cloth, double-width cloth, tubular weaving, color-and-weave effects, pique, quilting, and doubleweave pick-up. Students with 8-shaft looms will also be able to weave samples of 2-block doubleweave techniques in log cabin, checkerboard, windows, and double-blocks. Graphing designs and working with multiple colors will be introduced. These techniques can then be taken home to create clothing, sculptural pieces, decorative hangings, and whatever else the imagination can dream of.

Date: Friday – Sunday, May 15-17, 2026.

Location: Multnomah Arts Center (MAC) Gymnasium. 7688 SW Capitol Hwy, Portland, OR 97219. Note: Sunday May 17, Capital Highway is closed 8am-6pm for Sunday Parkways. MAC Parking Lot D will be the only lot open on Sunday. Normal access Friday and Saturday.

Level: No prior experience in doubleweave is needed, but students must know how to warp a loom according to instructions. Students will bring a 4-shaft or 8-shaft table or floor loom warped according to instructions.
