'Make Mine a Combo' Online Weaving Workshop with Qualicum Weaver's & Spinners' Guild

​**Weaving Workshop for advanced beginner or novice weavers** (more advanced weavers would also benefit)

Qualicum Weavers and Spinners Guild presents- ‘Make Mine a Combo’ with Linda Wilson Online Workshop- This Workshop will allow you to discover how combining various elements of design and colour can result in a woven piece that is both unique and exciting. Linda Wilson, our instructor will guide you through your discovery by examining basic design and principles through a series of yarn exercises. You will experiment with line, shape, focus and dominance to create different weaving results. Next you will use these principles in combination with colour exercises and colour theory to enable you, the weaver to see how balance and repetition can be used to add interest to the woven cloth. Once you have decided on a design for your personal project, you will make your warp and the magic begins on the looms in week 2. In Week 2 students will then apply these principles to a woven project geared to their level and/or the loom available. Pre-requisite – Ability to warp a loom. Each zoom class is offered both during the week and on the weekend

Make Mine a Combo will be offered in an online Zoom format with the same class being taught during the week and again on the Saturday of that week. The class during the week will be recorded and sent out to all participants (week and weekend). Lesson information to be sent out ahead via email – 6 lessons in total, run over 8 weeks – the students need time to do the weaving after lessons 1 and 2 – lessons 1 and 2 have exercises they need to do to proceed to the next lesson. Zoom classes are 1 hour (all Zoom meetings are optional)

Dates: Thursday 16, 2023 – April 27, 2023 – 10:00am BC time, 11:00 AB time.

    About the Everlea Guide to Vancouver Yarn

    Hi, I'm Janna. I'm the proprietor and natural dyer at Everlea Yarn, and the tapestry instructor at The School of SweetGeorgia. I am a tapestry weaver, longtime knitter and 2013 graduate of Concordia University's Fibres and Material Practices program.

    ​I created Vancouver Yarn in 2008 as a space to hold as much of the textile awesomeness that I could find in and around Vancouver. Here on the VY blog I mostly share about local events, pattern releases as well as share Community Highlights.

    Do you have an event, KAL, yarn or pattern release, launch or other thing you want us to post? Just fill out the form above or send your press release to me at
     janna (at) vancouveryarn.com 

    ​Thank you,
    ​Janna
