Las Tejedoras is pleased to offer a weaving workshop with Dianne Totten. Dianne is the creator of the “crimp and create” method for weaving beautiful permanently pleated Crimp Cloth that you can transform into scarves, shawls, wall art, and many types of clothing. Her workshop, “Crimp and Create" is a 3-day adventure where we will create our own Crimp Cloth samples and learn the secrets of how to make this incredible magical fabric. The workshop description from her website (https://diannetottenhandwovens.com/workshops/ ) is as follows:

This is an on-loom workshop taking fiber in a new direction by creating “crimp cloth.”  Learn to create fabric with permanently crimped designs that hold their memory even when washed. Apply this stash-busting technique to any threading and learn the thought process that will lead to endless possibilities for creating magic cloth. Participants will draft, weave, and crimp their samples in class.  Learn how the fabric can be used for one-size-fits-all garments that flatter any figure, scarves and shawls that won’t slide off your shoulders, and knit-look ribbing for a sweater or jacket collar.  Garment design and sewing tips are included. Advanced beginner and beyond.

• This workshop is for advanced beginners and beyond. Participants will need to prepare their own loom (4-shaft or 8-shaft) prior to the workshop. Detailed instructions will be provided in plenty of time beforehand to ensure everyone is able to adequately prepare.
