Advanced Band Weaving Workshop with Kerstin Neumüller

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, discuss project options for small looms, materials, and weaving band tips. Plan for some additional weaving time on your own between the two sessions to get the most out of this project.
