Introduction to Twining with Mary Crabb (part three: Warps & Finding Form)

An Introduction to Twining with Mary Crabb (part three: Warps & Finding Form) is an online two-part course.

This online course is taking place on Thursday 12th March 10am – 12pm & on Thursday 26th March 10am – 12pm.

This class is suitable for those who have been following Mary’s Twining series with Ardington or those with a little experience.  It is the third in a linked series of two-part workshops.

In this two-part class we will focus on form and how it can be developed with the addition and subtraction of warps. Following on from the previous two classes looking at the basics of twining and then bases and borders, this class will allow more freedom and flow in working towards the making of organic forms.

Week one will begin with a discussion about why warps might need to be inserted using examples from Mary’s sketchbox. Mary will demonstrate three different methods of inserting double warps and then single warps. You will be invited to join in, or watch, as Mary makes a warp sample for addition to your sketchbox. This will include top tips on how to add in easily and correctly. Removing warps will then be covered and an alternative to adding in, if you are wanting a denser weave.

In week two we will discuss the how and when to add or subtract warps, and how to achieve an asymmetric/ symmetric form. As before, Mary will work online to make a pod (a pod being a rounded form with an opening) with inserted warps. This can be watched or you could join in. Finally, Mary will demonstrate how to create slits, openings and points by reversing the twining and subtracting warps.
