You will come away from this workshop understanding that plain weave is anything but plain. Jane has always looked at plain weave as the most important architectural structure in hand weaving. Its enormous potential for creating "canvases" on which to design is often overlooked. Learn the various ways that plain weave is used structurally to create fabrics, including: Cramming and Denting, Denting, Colour and Weave, Warp Faced, Weft Faced, Supplementary Warp and Supplementary Weft.

Plan and make an original woven project whilst learning a new weaving technique. This unique three layer weaving technique starts with quilt fabric as design inspiration. By cutting fabric strips and inlaying them in sequence, you will create a background to do a simple yarn inlay upon. Designing exercises and guided project planning will help you create a small woven wall hanging or pillow top.
