DRAWLOOM STUDY GROUP
The Drawloom Study group was created to study more complex weaves using two sets of shafts at the same time. Using the two harness drawloom, one set of shafts weaves the background, and the other set weaves the pattern images. The guild currently owns a large Swedish loom which has a drawloom pattern shaft attachment that includes 20 pattern shafts and 4-6 ground shafts. This allows the weaver to create multiple and more complex shapes. Because of the larger loom size and a longer time to warp a drawloom, the opportunity to have a community loom is not only more economical but more enjoyable working and learning with others. Some experience in weaving is beneficial before weaving on the drawloom. Nonetheless, all are welcome to learn more about this loom and schedule your time to weave on the community warp.
These meetings are usually the 2nd Tuesday from 10:00 – 12:00 pm of the month but are subject to change.
