Triangular Weaving




 

 

 


  tri-weaving technique
     A fun, unique process, similar to a giant potholder that carries the weave from corner to corner and builds two sides at once.

 

Use for wraps, table or
window coverings, a throw, or even pillows and totes.

A perfect project for nubby, textured, novelty yarns that don't fit a harness loom.

Frame: a simple, stand-up triangle,
that supports itself.

             We build a simple frame,
which is yours to keep for future weavings. Larger wraps and other accessories can be made from putting multiple triangles together.

See Samples

 

      
Use a smaller scarf frame on a table.

       Weaving involves mixing in various yarns, colors, textures-- the essence of "weaving" single elements into a unified whole. Finish in a few hours, or weave at leisure while decorating your wall with a "work in progress". This is the most "forgiving" weaving project, allowing a myriad of changes into a new creation.

PaperMaking -- Kids or Adults
  

Papermaking is a fun, decorative activity.
We use colored pulps, with added textures from Nature: petals, seeds, grasses, feathers, cotton or wool. We may use natural dyes, essential oils, anything to add sensory appeal: visual, tactile, scent. A great experience for class collages, or parent/child experience. Use for journaling, photo mats, mug mats, bookmarks, greeting cards, memory collages, or even moulding around a form, such as a planter. We use pulp made of commercial & rag papers. Wet papers will need to be carried home to dry.
