Class: Quirky Tapestry, Exploring the Eccentric Wedge Weave with Deborah Corsini

Class Description:

Bold, graphic lines, zigzag stripes, and scalloped selvedges are striking characteristics of wedge weave. Instead of weaving perpendicular to the warp, as is usual for tapestry, wedge weave is an eccentric weaving technique where the wefts are woven at an angle to the warp.

In this workshop, students will learn the unique characteristics, basic techniques, and design possibilities to create dynamic and graphic wedge weave tapestries. The workshop includes a variety of approaches to eccentric weaving, combining tapestry with wedge weave, slit techniques, curves, and unusual materials. Create a sampler or small tapestry by incorporating various wedge weave techniques and styles and move beyond the expected. Students should be able to warp a loom and have some weaving experience.
