With infinite possibilities for designing with color, how is a weaver to choose one that is appealing and meaningful? Name drafting is a loose set of techniques that starts with a name, word or phrase and translates it into a pattern. It may be stripes, colors, blocks of pattern, a threading sequence or any other variable chosen by the designer. With it, subtle designs create secret messages in the woven fabric. What could be more personal than a baby’s name encoded in a blanket or a special message encrypted in a scarf? In this class, we’ll play with different techniques and generate lots of inspiration for future projects!
