Theo Moorman Workshop – January 2025
The Guild is organizing a virtual workshop on the Theo Moorman weaving technique. The instructor will be Heather Winslow. The Theo Moorman technique is a variation of plain weave that allows the weaver to create a design which sits on the surface of a ground fabric. You will need a loom with four harnesses and the ability to access a Zoom presentation. The workshop is suitable for beginner to advanced weavers.
Heather Winslow will be providing instructions for pre-warping your looms. A suggested book for background review is “Weaving as an Art Form” by Theo Moorman, which the guild has in its library.
The dates of the workshop are January 4, 8 and 11, 2025, and it runs from 9 am – 12 noon, 1 – 4 pm on each of those days. We plan on recording the presentation and that will be available to registrants through January 25, 2025. Registration is limited to 20 individuals.
Registration is now open to guild members at $225 per person. On November 8 registration will also be open to non-guild members for $265 per person. Please complete the website workshop form (directions at left – select Theo Moorman Workshop). Direct any questions to president@vhwsg.ca .
