Three names for the same technique, with a few variations. This structure creates open spaces in a plain weave, ideal for table linens, curtains, shawls, or summer garments such as blouses or wedding dresses.
We will work with linen or cotton yarns of varying densities to create samples that will prepare a larger-scale project.
The dobby looms will be pre-warped, allowing you to test different openwork variations: Swedish lace, Bronson, or Huck.
2-day course from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Saturday and Sunday)

Open to all.
After spending thirty years restoring paintings, I fell into textiles. Sewing, embroidery and knitting have always interested me. Wool spinning and weaving came into my life twenty years ago, when my husband and I took over a family estate in Norway and raised a few sheep. I first taught myself how to process wool and then, to improve my skills, I joined a group of peasant weavers who met weekly. I'm particularly interested in traditional wool and linen techniques, and I use my wools dyed with plants and mushrooms to produce textiles for the home and for clothing.
