Tapestry Weaving - Level 2 DVD with Nancy Harvey
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Tapestry Weaving - Level 2 includes many advanced techniques as shown in the small piece on the cover. During the workshop this will be made into an attractive tote bag. Tapestry Weaving - Level 2 continues where level 1 left off, and includes tips and techniques as they apply to weaving both from the front and the back side of the tapestry. Techniques include horizontal shading (hatching, hachures and floating bars), vertical shading (using single and multiple strands of weft), vertical outlining, refinements of double weft and single weft interlock and how to create overlapping transparent imagery. Ways to plan a project, prepare a cartoon and color sampling are also presented along with a selection of tapestries wich incorporate the many techniques included in this workshop. Many functional and useful projects can be woven in tapestry technique, such as pillows, rugs, tote bags, wall hangings and even clothing.
