Inlay is a traditional weaving technique that has existed for centuries in many cultures. Most weavers are familiar with the basic premise of using inlay to create patterns in cloth. The approach provided in this class will expand upon this tradition by using words as the basis for the patterns that are laid-in to the cloth. As a result, the boundaries of the craft can be expanded to allow weavers to incorporate elements from calligraphy, book arts, poetry, printing, folklore, and storytelling. With the goal to inspire weavers to expand their repertoire of decorative approaches, this class will provide step-by-step instruction in the techniques for using inlay to weave letters and words in cloth.
