We will study various loom controlled Intermediate and Advanced weave structures, such as double weaves, block weaves, and jacquard weaves, and work with drafting techniques such as network drafting, profile drafting, computer dobby weaving and Jacquard design. In addition, we will focus on working with texture and color through yarn and fabric manipulation.
