FEB 9      THROW IN THE TOWEL with Gail Pilgrim        Zoom presentation.
Planning, producing and Presenting the Perfect Handwoven Towel – Kitchen towels are often viewed as functional workhorses, but why not also turn these rectangles into woven works of art?  This class, appropriate for both beginning and advanced weavers, will bring together into one place everything weavers need to consider in order to plan, produce, and present the perfect kitchen towel-lovely to look at, delightful to use.
We will cover different towels for different uses, and size, fiber, structure choices, plus design considerations.  Then we will delve into actual weaving challenges including temples, selvedges, hemming, hang tags, and finishing tips.  Finally, we will talk about presenting our towels to the world (personal use, gifts, sales, exchanges, even competitions) plus some project ideas to get the undecided started.
