Last week meant weaving on two, four or eight-shafts in either Daryl Lancaster’s Advanced Inkle Weaving Techniques (two) or Nancy Adams’ Honeycomb and Waffle Weave (four and eight). In the inkle class, intricate designs included name drafts, pick-ups and turned Krokbragd.
The inkle weavers are proudly showing their looms with all the special techniques they learned in class with instructor, Daryl Lancaster. You can read more about Daryl, her travels and the classes she teaches on her own blog, www.weaversew.com.
To create honeycomb or waffle weave, a four- or eight-harness loom is in order and students in Nancy Adams’ class made one, two or six (!) pieces including scarves, pillow covers, towels and table runners in this wonderful textural weave.
Not two, four or eight, but fourteen smiles in these two classes!
We are looking forward to more weaving, willow chairs, knitting, handmade boxes and woodcarving as we head into October and as our 39th season comes to a close. The past few months have gone by quickly. It is always a bittersweet time as we near the final class, but that just means we’ll be thinking of the next year!
Thanks for the wonderful week! It was fun and relaxing and the students in our class were awesome. I just love coming to Sievers and always enjoy having Nancy as the instructor. Already looking forward to next year. Seeing the creations in Daryl’s class was special too.
I can’t wait to see the fall colors when the leaves turn on the island. It is always fun to see what is happening on the island.
Thanks, Renee! Seeing all of you in Nancy’s class is special for us, too. We’re still waiting on fall colors…they’re late this year, it seems. I’ll share some Island views soon! Take care, Carolyn
Carolyn, thank you for the pictures. I recognize a couple of those creative ladies. Beautiful work ladies.
It’s just hard to choose which photos to share!
Fantastic weaving results! Cogratulations to instructors and participants.
Fun to see the “next-step” weaving projects, isn’t it? See you in class again soon, Roberta.
Fantastic weaving results! Congratulations to instructors and participants.
I wish I could have been there for the Inkle Weaving. Everyone’s work looks really great!
Maybe next year.
We’ll look forward to seeing you again Jayne. Take care, Carolyn
