| July 9 - July 11, 2008 Transylvania Parks and Recreation |
Overshot | Barbara Miller | $135/members & $150/non-members. |
| To benefit the Blue Ridge Handweaving Show. Since Barbara has decided to retire from
teaching at the end of this year, we are delighted to have this one time opportunity. Traditional Overshot pattern weaving can be very exciting! In this workshop you will explore in depth both traditional and contemporary fabrics. A study of threading and treadling variations, expansion or rearrangement of blocks, interpreting drafts, and working with draw-downs will open you to new ideas. The fee includes multiple handouts and weft thread. Participants will provide threaded looms. Details will be provided with registration. This workshop is limited to 20 weavers. |

Silk Painting | Donna Kassab | TBA |
|
Donna Kassab began silk painting in the 1980's with the help of a few books, some old silk shirts and a class for beginners. She was hooked, and this art form was established as one of her life's passions. The 'hand' of silk and the vibrancy of silk dyes fed her love of texture and colors. Donna now teaches silk painting workshops in her studio at Yarns To Dye For in Hendersonville, NC. | |||
