Description: Who says weaving on a four-shaft loom can’t be complex? Too many people, but they’re missing out! Four-shaft looms are capable of far more than most weavers realize, and this seminar is your opportunity to discover their hidden potential.
We’ll explore techniques that push a four-shaft loom beyond its “basic” reputation, helping participants gain a deeper understanding of structure, pattern, and design. From turned swivel patterns to integrated double weaves, and from creative variations in threading to discovering the most “fashionable” ways to weave a warp, this seminar demonstrates that four shafts can produce sophisticated, unexpected, and beautiful results.
By tapping into the full capabilities of a four-shaft loom, weavers will not only expand their own creative toolkit but also develop insights that make moving to looms with more shafts easier and more intuitive. Whether you’re looking to get more from the loom you already own or seeking a deeper understanding of weaving structure, this seminar will show just how amazing . . . and surprisingly versatile . . . a four-shaft loom can be.
