This workshop will introduce participants to double weaving, which is a simple technique for producing two-sided or multilayered fabrics. Double weaving also serves as a stepping stone to more complex weaving styles, from jacquard weaving, to 3D-weaving, to shape-weaving. Participants in this course will design, draft, and weave small-scale multilayer fabrics.

This project-based workshop will focus on capturing shadows with the cyanotype process on fabric and paper to create one of a kind prints! Dive into the realm of this photographic printmaking method through hands-on experimentation and investigation. Participants will learn the basics of cyanotype printing on coated materials using different exposure equipment throughout the seasons, as well as tips for achieving unique results with a variety of materials in our geographical location. We will record patterns and place through cyanotype by utilizing seasonally foraged plants, digitally printed 3D and laser-cut objects created in the Fab Lab, and ordinary things that hold memory or visual intrigue to print with.

This workshop is an opportunity to work with Softwood Cellulose Nanofiber (CNF). The slurry which is processed at the University of Maine (UMO), is in its infancy as an art material. The workshop is broken into two: drying process and time to work through ideas. We will discuss what working with means versus control of material. The material dries into a bio-plastic, somewhat hydrophilic, extremely light and strong object, film, or whatever you create. Samples, some of the early research, and artist examples from UMO will be brought in.
