Designing in Blocks--Crackle Weave with Dorothy Jan/Feb 

Take control of the design process! In this class, students will practice designing with four pattern blocks, a technique that can be used with many weave structures. After selecting your favorite design, you will convert the design into a threading draft in crackle weave that will be used for the rest of the class. At the end, you will have multiple samples and a special item of your own design. 

This five session course is recommended for intermediate to advanced beginner weavers. We will skip a week between classes four and five in order to have time to complete a final project.
