Drawlooms and Their Kin

Learn how to weave pictures in damask. Find out what a drawloom can do and how it feels to weave on one. You will learn the differences between the shaft-draw system and two single-draw systems, and explore some related techniques such as sword damask, opphamta and smålandsväv. Time will be spent designing and learning theory as well. Monday and Tuesday will be spent preparing the looms, leaving three days for weaving.
