On frame and floor looms, we will work at the intersections of warp and weft, color and material, narrative and abstraction, archiving and world-making, play and grief. Transform discards like wastepaper and plastic into fine materials to practice seeing and creating beauty amidst loss. Make multiple small works to practice finding possibilities amidst constraints. Blend multicolored warps to experience how colors affect one another. Based on interest, there will be opportunities to work collaboratively as well as individually. Some prior experience warping a floor loom is encouraged for those who would like to use the floor looms during the workshop. All levels welcome.
