Techniques such as clasped wefts and dovetailing will be looked at to further increase the design scope of this structure. 2 / 1 double faced twill will also be covered in this class. Special emphasis will be placed on Shaft Switching, everyone being able to adapt their looms in class to try out this exciting technique. Having initially learnt the craft at 18 years of age from his father, Jason returned to it in his mid-20s to set up his own workshop. 35 years, and thousands of rugs later, 2020 was the year Jason decided to ‘hang up his shuttle’ and take a step back from weaving. So, these 2 classes will quite possibly be the last ever he teaches, as there are no plans to continue actively pursuing the teaching side of things.
