EASY PICKUP

3 day workshop

Learn to do complex looking pickup designs, without counting, and on only 4 shafts!  This simple method allows the weaver to create intriguing and complex designs using a technique even the most beginning weaver can understand and apply.  Students will work on their own, pre-warped looms, learn to create and use a cartoon and create a sampler of designs to use in future weavings.  This technique is really fun, fast and simple!  A good workshop for beginning weavers.

Materials fee will cover handouts, price to be determined.

Room requirements:  Each student needs space for their loom, adequate seating and lighting, blackboard, chalk, erasers.  Students will provide pre-warped looms to teacher specifications; pick up sword or heavy knitting needles, shuttles, weft yarns and other necessary weaving equipment.  A nominal materials fee will include handouts.  Class size limit: 14   No aide required.
