Class meets at 1112 Price Avenue, Columbia, SC 29201 from 5-8p on Friday, 9-5 on Saturday, and noon-5 on Sunday.
Expanding the basic huck threading block to more than four shafts allows for multiple variations on the same threading. This is a great introduction to 6 or 8 shaft weaving and how changing the tie up of your treadles can impact the face of your cloth. Huck lace fabric can be used in curtains, towels, yardage, even as a base for surface embroidery.
Students should have some prior weaving experience including a basic understanding of weaving drafts and tie up charts. Understanding of the huck lace weave structure is helpful, but not required. Changing tie ups requires the ability to sit on the floor and work under the loom. Warps will be provided and each student will dress the loom with support from the instructor.
