Here are more photos to share from the Echo and Jin workshop with Denise Kovnat. Instead of adding them on to the previous post, I'm making room for them and any others to follow in a new post. Enjoy!

Would like to say this was a great workshop for both structure and color. Denise did a great job presenting it on Zoom—so much so that I’m ready to do another! Diane S.

Samples from Suzanne W.
I’m Dharma 16 shaft. The first one is my sampler washed and ironed for a complete view of the difference patterns woven with various wefts.
This Dharma Echo as a Double Weave, resleyed at 48 epi using two wefts. I used turquoise and a rusty copper 10/2 yarn which were 2 of the colors in the 4-colored warp.

Everything I thought I knew about weaving with colours, went right out the window with this structure. This is different. I tried several colour combinations before I found the right one. Once you found the right colour, it is absolutely beautiful. The class was excellent. Denise did an excellent job. Eileen L.

After the workshop, I finished hemming and washing this towel from my second set of samples of Dharma 16S 4 Color. So many of the changes due to both weft colors and treadling we tried were not always what one would expect so it'll be fun to have this available to view as future inspiration, and to show off, in my kitchen.
Great workshop. Besides learning how Echo works, this workshop is inspiring me to delve deeper into network drafting and tie-up changes. So much more to explore! Next on this warp, some place mats, each different but coordinated.
Many thanks to Denise and all involved in providing this workshop,
Barbara C.

16 shafts. Next project is Dharma for over the fireplace and if there’s warp left perhaps some clothing fabric in one of my own Jin patterns. Anni B.
I must say some really great samples of come out of this workshop. The color work in the weave structures are attention-getting and satisfying.
ReplyDeleteI think workshops on zoom will be a very positive edition to the hand weaving educational system.
