Dating back to the early Iron Age, card woven bands were used to create the starting and selvedge bands for warp-weighted looms. Other uses included adding decorative bands to woven textiles and as independent pieces. In this class we will create bands approx ⅜-¾” wide and 24”-36” long. Students will have a variety of patterns to choose from. Cards used in class will be available for purchase $8-12 per set.
This event is co-presented by the Anderson Center at Three Rivers Fibershed in conjunction with the exhibition Soil to Soil: Growing Regional Textiles.
