| More of Alison's samples |
Seven Guild members were wowed by Alison Irwin's workshop - A Good Deal More on Four. Alison is a master of investigating weaving techniques and breaking them down into easily understandable parts. This workshop showed us how to get more out of the four shaft looms by teaching up pick-up techniques like Finnweave, Mock Satin Damask, and Doubleweave Pick-Up. These techniques open up a whole new world! Along the way, we also learned a few other tips, like the fact that Dorothy looms can be folded for transport WITH the warp on, like the fact you can make a bobbin winder from a hand blender, like warping in groups using paper bags and raddles over the castle! The next workshop with Alison will be one designed for beginners and long-time weavers: Readon, 'Riting, 'Rithmatic -- sometime this fall. Stay tuned.
