Description: Have you tried tablet weaving – maybe you took a class once, or bought a book – but found yourself stuck in some way, uncertain how to proceed? Maybe you don’t have a loom, or the loom you have doesn’t work for you? Perhaps you found a pattern you like, but you don’t understand the notation it uses? Whatever your question is, this seminar aims to get you unstuck. Though we won’t be weaving in this class, this interactive discussion and demonstration will cover several topics that are essential to tablet weaving success. The first half of the class will be about equipment, with a focus on loom options. We will discuss the various types of tablet weaving looms, and how to find what works for you. The second half will be about weaving mechanics, with a focus on how to interpret the sometimes contradictory notations found in different pattern sources. Students are encouraged to bring their own questions.
