Weaving Peace --An Introduction to Tablet-Woven Calligraphy

inscription band with letters based on Gill Sans Weave peace, love, hope, joy -- and contemplate the meanings of these words in your life as you weave them. In this class, learn and practice double-faced tablet weaving using graphs from my book Please Weave a Message. The band will use 24 tablets for the letters, and an alphabet based on Gill Sans. You may add a decorative border of your choice, and create lovely bookmarks or a banner. Other words graphed and ready to weave are: breathe, smile, sing, play, and weave. Reading the graph, weaving, and unweaving (a very important skill!) will all be covered in detail.

inscription band sewn onto a hand towel If students already know how to make a continuous warp, and understand basic warp-twined tablet weaving, a one- or two-day workshop is sufficient to understand the concepts of the double-faced structure and weaving letters. Students without this background should make arrangements to acquire it in advance of the workshop, or a two- or three-day workshop can be arranged to include all of the basics.
