Introduction to Drafting, Mar. 3 & 10 (Mon), 6-8pm EST, online
Instructor: Samantha Bittman
Weave drafting is the pattern notation unique to weaving on a shaft-loom. In this introductory-level workshop, participants will learn how to read, modify, and create their own drafts from scratch. During the first session, participants will be shown examples of 4-harness drafts and be led through several drafting exercises intended to gain confidence with the basics. During the second session, participants will create an individualized sample blanket draft with color, and other common drafting scenarios will be discussed. This course is intended for people new to drafting that have some experience with weaving. Required materials: ¼” graph paper, 1/8” graph paper (optional), pencil / eraser, and colored drawing media. Recordings are available upon request.
Cancellation Policy:
Please consider carefully before signing up for one of our classes, loom rentals, or purchasing a class for another person. Due to the small class size for in-person workshops and the limited number of looms, each person makes an important contribution to the group dynamic and cancelling within short notice can make it difficult to fill your spot. If you do need to cancel, please be aware of our policies:
If the cancellation is 30 or more days before the start of the workshop, you have the option of rescheduling or receiving a full refund minus a $25 processing fee. If the cancellation is fewer than 30 days from the start of the workshop, this results in forfeiture of your entire course fee. If your spot can be from the waitlist, then you will only pay the $25 processing fee, regardless of timing.
No refunds will be given on gift certificates. (Updated 05/05/2024)
