Jennifer Moore holds an MFA in Fibers and specializes in exploring mathematical patterns and musical structures in doubleweave wall hangings. She has exhibited throughout the world, receiving numerous awards for her work. Jennifer travels extensively to teach workshops in doubleweave, color, and geometric design. She was invited to teach doubleweave to indigenous Quechua weavers in Peru in 2013, where they are once again excelling in this technique that had been discontinued after the Spanish conquest. She is the author of The Weaver’s Studio: Doubleweave, Doubleweave: Revised and Expanded, several doubleweave videos and online courses, and numerous articles.
From Block Doubleweave to Infinity
Starting with the basic building blocks for drafting two layers of doubleweave, we will create a matrix that gives us the definitive set of lift possibilities for two blocks of doubleweave in two layers of plain weave. From there we can easily add on more blocks for as many shafts as you have available. Next we will overlay a rotation of as many colors as you like to create continuous color mixtures. A coloring exercise will visually illustrate how this process works to give you the ability to create a virtually unlimited range of possibilities in woven designs.
This session will be captured for the Weavers Handshake, CW’s online, on-demand learning platform.
