Workshop: Stacey Harvey Brown (part 1)
October 1, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Designs will be familiar overshot patterns for 4 and 8 shafts, and seersucker can give very varied results on simple 4-shaft threadings depending on materials, sleying and ratios of wool to cotton. Weft materials include cotton, wool and polyester plus some optional others that you might like to try such as elastane, overtwist yarns, singles etc.

Instructor Bio:
A weaver for 30 years, Stacey loves to explore dimensional texture, dive deep into structure and create weaving courses, books and artwork inspired by natural forms, science and optical illusions.
Distilling techniques from her art into as few shafts as possible and sharing that with fellow weavers is a particular pleasure. An MA (2011-14) allowed her 3 years of investigating tubular dimensional forms and complex structural hangings.
Stacey is the founder of weaving studio “The Loom Room France” in South-West France, where she teaches weavers in a beautiful, historic setting.
