SILK INLAY WEAVING

Inlay gives an almost complete freedom of design
as yarn is laid in by hand to create the design areas
in a plain weave ground. A variety of inlay techniques
make different patterns and intensities of colour.

During the course inlay techniques will be sampled
before designing and weaving a scarf or hanging
using commercially spun silk yarns. Emphasis
will be placed on techniques to perfect plain weave,
good selvedges and crisp inlay with silk.
Multiple warping and cloth finishing will also be included.

(WORKSHOP - minimum 3 days OR
DEMONSTRATION with or without slides)
