The gamp is a sample of different structures or weaving patterns and can be used for future reference when planning projects. The weave structures included will be plain weave, twill, overshot, ‘M’s and W’s’, and huck. Under the guidance of the instructor, students will wind a multi-color warp and dress and thread a loom. They will also be introduced to working with two shuttles. Students will build on their knowledge of reading and interpreting drafts and will learn more about various weave structures.

This class is for those who have taken BW 101 Learn to Weave, or for those with some weaving experience. It is also a good refresher for those who haven’t woven for a while and would like to get back in to the craft.
