School of Weaving

JST School of Weaving is a series of instructional lessons where weavers learn at their own pace to weave on 4-shaft looms and continue on their weaving journey with renowned instructor and designer Jane Stafford. Each lesson demonstrates step by step instructions and will inspire weavers to design and create the best possible cloth they can – to care about graphic, colour, hand, and drape – from beginners wondering where to start, to experienced production weavers searching for new horizons. FEATURES -All previously aired Seasons -New episode released every 6 weeks -Access to downloadable PDF pattern drafts -Be able to participate in an engaging weaving community Season 1 - The Fundamentals of Weaving All the fundamentals of weaving. Warping, various methods of dressing the loom, great weaving technique, project planning, understanding sett, information about different types of looms and yarns, weaving with difficult yarns like mohair, fulling and finishing. Season 2 - Colour & Weave Laying the foundations of colour and design. The format is simple and easy, encouraging original design and making it accessible and fun. Concepts regarding colour theory, graphic, division of space and the architecture of design are laid down in a way that allows weavers to bring their ideas to reality. Season 3 - Pushing the Boundaries of Plain Weave We take an in-depth look at Plain Weave. We get familiar with our reed: exploring denting; cramming and denting; weft-faced; warp-faced; double weave; collapse weave and supplementary warp. Season 4 - Twills on Four We explore threadings, tie-ups, treadlings, colour and weave, big threadings, little threadings, Point Twill, Twill and Basket Weave, Shadow Weave, Weft Faced Twills and end up harnessing the power of 4 shaft looms in relation to the twill weave structure. Season 5 - Laces We tackle Laces with Canvas Weave, Huck, Huck with Colour and Weave effects, Bronson Spot, Atwater Bronson Lace, Blended Lace and how we can get Lace and Twills all in one piece. But we first start the year with Turned Twill. Season 6 - Units, Blocks and Profiles Units, Blocks and Profiles are the 3 words that we dance around in Season 6. We study a few new structures (well, actually very old structures) and see how we can use everything we’ve learned about design in fresh new ways. Season 7 - An Overlay of Colour and Weave and Texture on Units and Block Structures Season 7 builds on all previous years with special emphasis on the Colour and Weave gamp we did in S2 E4. We take those colour and weave sequences and overlay them onto units and blocks for Overshot, Crackle, Halvdrall, Turned Taquette, Summer & Winter, M’s & O’s and Monk’s Belt. We also start the season with one more 8-shaft Turned Twill with colour & weave. Season 8 - Double The Fun In Season 8, we delve further into M’s & O’s and Huck, the Powell method of drafting Shadow Weave, introduction to Deflected Double Weave, Block Double Weave, and Double Faced Twills. We’ll be doubling our fun by looking at structures on 4 and 8 shafts.
