Lynn has presented weaving programs on design and structure at CW Seminars and for many state and local guilds. Her articles and works have appeared in the CW Journal, Eight Shafts: Beyond the Beginning, Weavers, and other publications.

Lynn loves pushing the limits of her computer-assisted loom, and together they have created many award-winning works.
Polychrome Summer & Winter
Summer and winter is a weave structure that lends itself to graphic designs as it is very shaft-efficient. Polychrome summer and winter is a way to create additional color patterning without increasing the number of shafts. Starting with a brief review of the traditional summer and winter structure, we will quickly move to designing with polychrome summer and winter, followed by how to convert the structure’s traditional plain weave ground cloth to more complex weave structures.
This session will be captured for the Weavers Handshake, CW’s online, on-demand learning platform.
