Description: Want to improve the look of your circles? Come weave with me as we demystify making curves on a grid. We will explore: hill and valley threads in regards to smoother lines; formulas to determine lengths of flat sides in relation to the size of the circle and the warp e.p.i. ; graphed cartoons to aide in determining step sequences; weaving order; methods and techniques to fill in the circle; techniques to enhance the 3-D appearance of the circle; outlines and smoothing techniques; and problem solving. After practicing these skills, students will be well on their way to capturing that “Perfect Circle”!
