This is a hands-on workshop.  For experienced inkle weavers only. Students must be proficient at warping the inkle loom and be comfortable doing Baltic/Speckled pickup.

This workshop takes a dive into design principles for Baltic/Speckled pickup using original and playful reptile patterns created by the instructor. (Snakes, turtles, and lizards, oh my!) Because this technique lends itself to designs along diagonal lines, students will be led to experiment in creating pictures and patterns with this in mind. The workshop will also include information on how to create band designs using repeating motifs or joining multiple motifs into a cohesive overall design. Come prepared to weave given motifs and design some of your own. The Raktres Pattern Editor will be used to assist with the design work, so bring a laptop or tablet.

Instructions for warping will be sent in advance and students will arrive warped and ready to weave.
