News & Events

August 9: Shadow Weave: Sue will present an overview of Shadow Weave, starting with Mary M. Atwater’s announcement of a new weave in the February 1942 Shuttle-Craft Guild Bulletin and continuing through the development of Marian Powell’s alternate drafting method described in her 1976 book, 1000(+) Patterns in 4, 6, and 8 Harness Shadow Weave. But as Alice would say, from there things get “Curiouser and curiouser!”

This weaving challenge, due January 2027, is to produce the most diverse results from one warp. Whether you use 2, 4, 8 or more shafts: beam one warp, thread a selected draft, and sley a chosen sett. Use tie-up, treadling, and weft choices to make the most pattern, color, and texture differences possible. There is no size limit, and the finished weaving can be one or many pieces.
