WHAT'S ON YOUR LOOM?

2-HARNESS TABLE TOP LOOM WOVEN SCARF

ADVANCED 3-D ART

2-harness tabletop loom, warping board & weaving essentials

Let's see what our 3rd year 3-D girls are up to.

In 2nd year 3-d they learned to weave on a frame loom,

so this year they graduated to a 2-harness tabletop loom,

and also learned to use a warping board.

Above we see senior Shreya Sheth helping senior Jacqueline Yu remember her warping sequence.

And below Shreya is bored waiting for her turn.

Pretty cute Shreya!

Here is Jac's lovely and yummy finished scarf hanging on display at Open House.

And a couple of close-ups.

Fringe was optional.

I really like how Jac played with several different sizes and types of weft yarns.

Next we have Shreya's finished scarf.

She went a completely different route then Jacqueline.

She was inspired by hounds tooth cloth and made up her own pattern

for a very striking piece.

The girls told me the warping process was way too tedious but once they started the actual weaving they were loving it.

Yeah!

A BIT TARDY

Just found these two shots hidden in my camera.

And wish I had them a bit  sooner to have inserted in What's On Your Loom

from the other day.

Oh well,

but check out the smiles on those faces!

They loved this unit,

from the warping to the weaving,

to the rust & eco printing.

Fun-un-un !!!

Also on display,

the remarkable Open House walls.

Homemade Warping Board

Been teaching now for over 34 years here at Whitney, and before that I've been weaving and making art since I was a small child.  But all those years and all those art supplies and equipment seem to get "put in just the right places". Then years later I can't seem to remember where I put them.  Sound familiar?  Like my warping board.  So rather then spend the money buying a new one, I show my trusty T.A. senior Josh Berger what they look like on Google, and he whips one up for me.   What am I going to do when this kid graduates??  Probably hire him to come back to help me out, right.  LOL
