Stretching the Creative Repertoire in Weaving: Arrowmont Workshop


  • Arrowmont School of Art and Craft 556 Parkway Gatlinburg, TN, 37738 United States (map)

This floor loom weaving workshop will be of value to all skill levels. The focus will be creativity within simplicity: Creativity in the form of experimentation and play/Simplicity in the form of the most basic weave structures. Students will work with a broad variety of materials including unusual, alternative yarns. Daily class exercises will aim to generate inspiration and new ideas to enrich our visual and textural language systems. Some of the activities will be off-loom and in the form of writing, list-making, and multi-media projects meant to stretch the mind. The rest of the time will be spent on the loom, weaving a variety of samples and potentially a small project piece. Daily technical demonstrations will include skills and techniques to incorporate into one’s weaving, such as clasped weft, leno, and much more.
