	Tablet-woven bands have traditionally been used as a means for weaving
inscriptions, which could be political, religious, commemorative, or even
amorous or humorous.  This class will learn three ways of doing this; namely
using S- and Z-twining, the versatile double-faced weave, and plain weave
double-cloth with only two threads per tablet.  But if you cannot think of
anything to say, you can concentrate on other motifs, either traditional or
self-engendered.  

	Suitable for students who have already had at least one introductory
class in tablet weaving and know how to make a continuous warp.

ADVANCED TABLET WEAVING TECHNIQUES

* July 25-27, Portland, OR, $165 (includes tuition and yarn for three warps)	

Contact Linda Hendrickson, 140 SE 39th Avenue, Portland, OR 97214  USA,
phone (503) 239-5016, e-mail 102617.362 at compuserve.com

	There are some complex and little known forms of tablet weaving which
include its use in a twill double-faced weave, in producing a two-sided velvet
fabric, and in the products based on a modern form of the pasaka, an Indonesian
implement making two-layered warp twining possible.  This class will concentrate
on these and other techniques.

	Suitable for students who have the normal double-faced weave under (or
on) their belt and want to make the next step into the many possibilities of
tablet weaving.
