Tablet Weaving
June 9, 10:00 - 3:00 pm
The Bobbin Tree, Sydney
Instructor: Kari Fell
$45 + material fee to include handout and supplies
Create sturdy handwoven bands in a backstrap tablet weaving method. Bands may be used as trim for clothing, straps for cameras and guitars, or handles for purses and bags. Students will warp up a set of cards (tablets) and weave a narrow sample band in a pattern of chevrons and x's and o's. Students will learn to read a pattern draft and understand how it affects the structure of the weave. There will be play time to discover what happens when cards are turned, reversed, or flipped. We will also discuss various types of looms and weaving set-ups. If time allows, more intricate patterns will be introduced.

Kari Fell attended the Alberta College of Art as a textiles major, with weaving as the focus.
