><\/p>\n

It\u2019s full spring now, and I have just treated myself to two weaving trips!  I feel decadent, and it is wonderful!<\/p>\n

First was a two day workshop and evening lecture at Jockey Hollow Weaving Guild, which is in a beautiful part of New Jersey, just west of Morristown.  This is horse country with lots of historical, colonial sites\u2026not that I visited any of them since I was busy weaving!<\/p>\n

The workshop instructor was Ruby Leslie from New Hampshire, and her class was titled \u201c50 Ways to Weave Your Color.\u201d  Seventeen students each got a warp from Ruby in the same colors but different color sequences with different weave structures.  We then had a very organized round robin of weaving over the two days.  It was great!\"Ruby<\/a> <\/p>\n

Huck Weave with dark weft on a shaded warp<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Ruby<\/a> <\/p>\n

Advancing twill on a different shaded warp with dark bars between the color changes.  Woven with a dark weft<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Ruby<\/a> <\/p>\n

Bumberet.  Lots of variation here.  Warp stripes in bright colors on muted background and weft, or more subtle colors when the bright colors sections are not raised.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Ruby<\/a> <\/p>\n

Color and Weave Pinwheels, using multi-colored warp instead of just light\/dark. Weft also shades through the various pinks\/terracottas and the various greens.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Ruby<\/a> <\/p>\n

Asymmetric plaid, woven either in straight twill or plain weave.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Ruby<\/a> <\/p>\n

Double weave, with color striping and dark weft.  There were two versions: one in cotton and one in tencel.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There were 17 looms, with six weave structures to try, so there were three each of 5 structures (bumberet, huck, adv. twill, plaid, color & weave) and two looms with double weave.  Everyone went home with six samples and some of us went home with 7 or 8 eight samples.  It was extremely well organized!  Ruby will be teaching at Convergence this summer, and I\u2019m sure her students will be happy they chose her class!<\/p>\n

While Ruby has lived in New Hampshire for many years now, she is originally from Queens.  She made a comment that she likes to receive tiaras from her students as a light hearted reference to her \u2018royal\u2019 roots.  One of the students really outdid herself by making Ruby a felted tiara late at night after the first day of class had ended!  <\/p>\n

\"Ruby<\/a> <\/p>\n

Ruby in her felted tiara!<\/p>\n
