Freedom of Expression: Painting Warps on Loom

Instructor: Sarah Saulson

In this dyeing and weaving workshop, we will have lots of spontaneous fun painting warps with fiber reactive dyes, after the loom is warped. This wonderful technique allows weavers to work with color and pattern in a loose, free, expressive way, creating large-scale abstract forms. We will paint enough warp to explore the possibilities of the technique, and for l or 2 scarves. Using Fiber Reactive dyes, we will learn how to mix our own colors working from primary hues. The workshop is primarily hands-on, and includes lectures and handouts on dye technique and safety, basic color theory, and special considerations when weaving painted warps. Participants will work on looms dressed prior to the workshop.
