3-day workshop via Zoom. Hosted by Portland Handweavers Guild.
Portland Handweaver’s Guild Meeting & Program. Repeated at 7:00 to 9:00 pm. Note times are Pacific Time Zone.
Krokbragd is a delightful Scandinavian weaving technique. Join us as we explore the history, structure, and common motifs taught by Debby Greenlaw, author of Krokbragd: How to Design & Weave and Krokbragd Patterns. Debby will share tips for color and yarn selection, selvage management, and finishing techniques. She will bring plenty of samples and demonstrate weaving Krokbragd both on a rigid heddle and shaft loom.
Although this is not a hands-on weaving workshop, you'll get a chance to design your own patterns with colored pencils and design paper and start to plan your own Krokbragd project!
