Doubleweave Round Robin; 4 to 8 and more shafts

Thursday 3/19/26 to Saturday 3/21/26
At the Congregational Church in Harvard, MA

Gretchen Romey-Tanzer will be leading this round robin workshop exclusively for members of the NVWG.

The workshop will be an introduction and expansion of double layer doubleweave. We will cover designing and drafting doubleweave structures with color interactions being the focus. Looms will be set-up to sample systems that will produce different effects depending on treadling sequences and weft colors used. Experimentation will be encouraged. A handout of all the potential samples will be included.

The workshop will be limited to 15 people. Cost will be $150 plus materials fee (approximately $20.)

Participants must be able to warp their loom (4-16 shaft table or floor loom) independently prior to the workshop. Warps and drafts will be provided by Gretchen a few weeks prior to the workshop. All level of weavers are welcome.

Signup will begin on 12/1/25. A signup link will be sent to members on that date. (No signups will be accepted before that date.) The tuition must be fully paid within a week of that date in order to hold your spot. Those who are attending the Guild meeting on Tuesday 12/2 may deliver checks or cash at that time. Others may be mailed to NVWG, PO Box 50, Harvard MA 01451.
