October 4-6, 2014 - Elisabeth Hill
Mystery Weave, Deflected Double Weave, Cell Weave
– it has as many names as it does possibilities. In this
workshop we explore the dramatic possibilities of deflected
double weave. We will experiment with the myriad variations
possible on a single threading by changing our tie-up,
treadling and weft colors to create a mini sampler. Finally
we will choose a tie-up/treadling/colorway from our sampler
to weave a scarf.
Ability Level: Able to warp a loom, change tie-up and follow
a draft
Supplies, Equipment, Preparation Student Must Supply: An 8
or 12 shaft loom (this can be a table loom), 2 shuttles, 4
bobbins, notebook/pen, scissors, tapestry needle, measuring
tape. Lisa will send warps with full instructions, but the
students must have their looms well warped and ready to
weave at the beginning of class.
Supplies, Equipment Teacher Will Provide: A 5-yard warp for
each student with a detailed draft and set of instructions
for warping, coordinating weft material and detailed
handouts. She will also bring a digital projector and many
woven samples.
Workshop fee is $150. To register one needs to send a $50
deposit along with the following information: name, mailing
address, e-mail address, whether your loom will be a floor
or table loom and whether it is 8 or 12 harness. Send the

Road, Hartland, VT 05048. If we do not have enough people
signed up by July 7th we will open up to other guilds.
Elisabeth Hill from Conway, Massachusetts. Lisa
shares this about herself: “I am a hand-weaver; mother of
three children, two cats, two dogs, and three (perhaps a few
more) looms. I have been weaving since 1995, and I received
my Master Weaver certificate from Hill Institute in
Florence, MA in 2012. I am currently Program Chair for
Weavers of Western Massachusetts and have had the
opportunity to give programs in Deflected Double Weave to
several guilds and at Convergence 2012 and at N.E.W.S.
2013.”
