warp & weft

How about some pictures from the Pam Topham tapestry workshop? As always, I adore hanging out with the women from my Spinning Guild. I sometimes wonder if it’s the fiber I find so compelling or the people I meet.

Like most things, what I learned about tapestry weaving is that it’s much more complicated than it appears; planning on how colors meet, figuring out whether the shed is open or closed and what to do if the sheds don’t align not to mention the artistry to make a design! And now, for my own woven result. Please remember everything I just told you about how increibly complicated it all is – this little piece measures roughly 3″ and took me 12 hours!
