On Tuesday, February 25, from 2 to 6 p.m., artist Toni Ross leads an Intermediate Weaving workshop at The Church focusing on the practice and technique of weaving with a small handheld loom.
The class is for those with some weaving experience and those who participated in Ross’s prior workshops. This workshop will begin with a recap of skills, going over how to properly warp a loom and remove and finish a woven work, before delving into more advanced techniques. In this session, participants will be introduced to several new stitches and learn techniques to create precise geometric patterns, free-form designs, and how to incorporate transparency into a weaving. Ross will also present a slideshow highlighting key influences and samples of her own recently completed work.
Yarn and a selection of fibers will be provided and participants are encouraged to bring any of their own yarns, ribbons or fabrics they would like to incorporate. Participants are welcome to bring in-progress weavings as well.
The workshop is $75 at thechurchsagharbor.org and will be using the looms previously provided in the Intro to Weaving class. To obtain a new loom, reach out to samuel@thechurchsagharbor.org. The Church is at 48 Madison Street in Sag Harbor.
