Advanced Band Weaving

This course takes place online over two days, Saturday, February 8, and Sunday, February 9, from 10 am-12 pm central time for both sessions.    

Join Swedish textile artist and educator Kerstin Neumüller for two online sessions focused on more advanced techniques on a small rigid heddle-style band weaving loom. Suitable for students who have previously practiced repp band weaving on their own or in other classes with Kerstin, this workshop takes the next step to focus on pick-up patterns and other possibilities on these small, versatile looms. Students will start by weaving a band with patterned hearts and then discuss the planning and execution of other pick-up band patterns.

This virtual class is an excellent option for students who want a refresher on more advanced band weaving techniques, have previously worked through basic projects from Kerstin’s book Simple Weave, or have taken an in-person or virtual repp band weaving class with Kerstin previously. During work time, a wide-ranging discussion of project options on small looms, materials, and tips for weaving bands will fill in. Suitable for students with past weaving experience, ages 12+.

This is a live virtual class taught over Zoom. Students need a strong internet connection and a device with video capabilities. To participate in this class, students must have their video on.

Students provide their own materials for this virtual class and should be comfortable warping their small rigid heddle loom ahead of class; please see the full materials list here.
