Crackle, Not Crackle?
2-day workshop with Pat Brown
Using just a four shaft loom with a four color warp you will learn to create multiple different but related designs. I will show how to adapt an existing draft to this technique and we will create a new draft to show how simple it can be. I will work with each student individually so all can learn how to create a four color warp.
About: Pat Brown is a member of WNCFHG who has been experimenting with crackle and color for several years and now wants to share jer techniques with others.
