Double Trouble
Instructor: Janet Dawson
Location: Gaelic College
Date: November 5, 6 & 7, 2021
Registration Deadline: September 30, 2021
This weavers’ taste test will look at doubles: double weave, double width, double faced, deflected double weave, double two tie, and more. Since these topics are related thematically rather than structurally, lectures will be light on theory and we’ll have more time than usual to focus on the actual process of weaving itself.
This smorgasbord of samples also provides an opportunity for discussions and demonstrations designed to help students refine their weaving technique, learn advanced weaving skills, increase their understanding of written standard and profile drafts, and gain comfort and confidence at the loom.
Double Trouble is designed for students who already have some experience in weaving and drafting.
Costs:
Day Student (includes tuition and lunch and a snack each day) - $340
Live In Single (includes tuition, single room for 2 nights, and meals and snacks from Friday midmorning to Sunday Lunch) - $528
Live In Double (includes tuition, shared room for 2 nights, and meals and snacks from Friday midmorning to Sunday Lunch) - $485
Plus Material Fees
Additional Options:
Thursday Night Dinner - $19
Thursday Single Room and Friday Breakfast - $70
Thursday Shared Room and Friday Breakfast - $49
