SUMMARY:Rigid Heddle Weaving @ Sievers School of Fiber Arts
DESCRIPTION:This class offers instruction for “beginning and beyond” rigid heddle weavers. Beginners will start with a basic scarf followed by a sampler of pick-up and lace techniques to experience the versatility of the loom. There will be time to weave one or more additional projects you choose to expand your learning even further. Those with experience on the loom will learn rep weave\, a double heddle technique. We will begin by weaving a rep runner. Then you’ll design your own rep weave pattern and plan and weave additional project(s) of your choice.  \nPlease note that this class is offered through Sievers School of Fiber Arts and you must register through them at the website listed below. Registrations open February 1\, 2024. \nShare this:Share\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			Like this:Like Loading…

SUMMARY:Spinner's Color Workshop II @ The Clearing
DESCRIPTION:Enter our fiber color studio where we will spend the week learning to create and manipulate color during all phases of the yarn design process including preparation\, spinning and plying! We will explore how to apply color theory in your yarns and how one color adjustment can change the whole look of your spun yarn. If you have previously taken the Spinner’s Color Workshop\, this will be “part two” with all new color experiments to add to your design tool kit. (Note that the first color workshop is not a requirement to participate in Workshop II.) \nBeginning spinning experience is necessary\, but you don’t need to be an expert to take this class. “Early career spinners” are welcome! \nPlease note that this class is being offered through The Clearing Folk School. You must register directly with The Clearing. Complete details can be found on their website in January 2024. Registrations will open in February. \nShare this:Share\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			Like this:Like Loading…

SUMMARY:Rigid Heddle Double Weave - Virtual Workshop via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Learn to expand the capacity of your rigid heddle loom with double weave! Using two heddles\, you will learn to weave a double-layer of fabric. It’s truly magic…and not difficult! Our class project will be a wall hanging that you can use to store some of your weaving tools. As we weave the project\, you will learn to weave two layers of fabric that are open on one side and closed on the other; open on both sides; closed on both sides with an opening in the center of the top layer; and closed on all four sides…and whatever other combinations there might be!  \nThe first class session we will learn to warp our looms with two heddles and prepare to weave. The second and third sessions we will weave our wall hanging. Later in the third session\, as well as during the optional fourth session\, Deb will work with you to plan for a second project to do on your own after the workshop concludes. (Maybe you’ll plan to weave a blanket or laprobe? Or a set of pillow covers?? Or…???) Deb will also make herself available for you to consult with once you are “out there on your own”. \nThe prerequisite for this workshop is to have direct warped and woven on a rigid heddle loom at least once. A previous beginner class is all you need! \nClass dates/times (All times are Central time zone):\n   -Tuesday\, February 6\, 2024  6:00 – 9:00 p.m. (First session is 3 hours.)\n   -Thursday\, February 8\, 2024 6:30  – 8:30 p.m.\n   -Tuesday\, February 13\, 2024  6:30 – 8:30 p.m.\n   -Thursday\, February 15\, 2024 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.  \nHere’s what you will need to participate in this workshop:\n   -A rigid heddle loom that is a minimum of 12″ wide (15″ preferred)\, completely assembled\, and in excellent operating condition.

SUMMARY:Beginning Spinning & Rainbow Dyeing @ Sievers School of Fiber Arts
DESCRIPTION:Spend a week of fun learning the art of handspinning and dyeing\, as you turn wool and other fibers into your own unique yarns!  A five-day class is the best way to learn to spin because it provides so much time to practice learning your new skills. You will learn about fleece selection\, washing\, handcarding\, drumcarding\, spinning single and multi-ply yarns\, and simple dyeing techniques to transform fibers and yarns into a wonderful rainbow of color.  Ashford\, Louet\, Schacht and Kromski spinning wheels and related equipment will be available for your use. This class is for those who have no previous spinning experience. We will start at the very beginning! (If you are among those who were introduced to spinning at my one-day “crash course” at the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival\, this would be a great follow-up to take you much further on your spinning journey!) \nPlease note that this class is offered through Sievers School of Fiber Arts and you must register through them at the website listed below. \nShare this:Share\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			Like this:Like Loading…

SUMMARY:Rigid Heddle Weaving @ Sievers School of Fiber Arts
DESCRIPTION:This class offers instruction for “beginning and beyond” rigid heddle weavers.

There will be time to weave one or more additional projects you choose to expand your learning even further. Those with experience on the loom will engage in a color study. We will begin by weaving a color gamp runner. Then you’ll plan and weave additional project(s) of your choice that apply color theory. Beginning and intermediate.

SUMMARY:Braids and Cords - Cancelled
DESCRIPTION:IMPORTANT NOTICE: All 2022 events are pending due to the pandemic. Until further notice\, all participants in Fiber Garden hosted events are required to show proof of full vaccination\, including a booster\, to participate. There may be additional protocols implemented to ensure maximum safety of participants. Protocols may include masks\, distancing\, at-home rapid testing. By registering for a Fiber Garden-sponsored event\, you agree to comply with any established guidelines.  Now…on to the fun stuff! … \n Learn kumihimo\, lucet\, and slentre techniques all in one day in one workshop! There are a lot of uses for braids and cords and this workshop will focus on three techniques that will help you weave several different types.  We will explore Kumihimo which uses a foam disc to make round or flat braids. For the second technique we will use a Lucet to make square cords. Finally\, participants will learn to use your fingers for braiding\, a technique called Slentre. All these techniques can be done almost anywhere and are quite portable. During this class we will be using different types of fiber for the techniques and incorporating beads into some of the designs. You will complete braids and cords using each technique. The braids and cords can be used for straps for bags/totes\, shoe laces\, bracelets\, trims for knitwear or hand wovens\, and embellishments for clothing or home furnishings. Although there is a “hefty” materials fee for this class\, you’ll go home with all of the supplies to continue making braids and cords at home!! Well worth the investment! \nWorkshop fee is $75. In addition\, a materials fee of $50 will be paid directly to the instructor at the workshop and includes a kumihimo foam disc\, lucet and spring clamp to take home\, a supply of various types of fiber to make braids and cords during class\, written directions.  A $20 non-refundable\, non-transferable deposit will be due at the time of registration to confirm your space. The remainder of your fee will be paid at the conclusion of your workshop. (Fees are only refunded if an event is canceled by the Fiber Garden.
