Morning Program: “Design Deliberations”.

Designing can be hard work! Do you have trouble deciding what or how to design for weaving? Are there too many choices or not enough? Are you stuck in a rut with your designs? Sometimes the best ideas come from considering the work of others. Many different approaches to weave design will be explored while looking at inspiring examples. 


Afternoon Program: “A Design Journey”.

This program can be considered a sequel to Design Deliberations. Follow one of Lynn's design journeys which will take you through the many deliberations inherent in the design process: inspiration, concept creation, project planning (motif and entire piece), drafting, color and material selection, weaving, evaluation, revision, display.


 

About Lynn:

Lynn Smetko, a weaver of 25 years, enjoys the design phase of weaving the most. She combines a fascination with weaving, technology and art when designing for her 40-shaft computer-assisted loom. Photo-editing and weaving software are used to create weave plans that not only define fabric, but an entire piece. Lynn is a past president of Complex Weavers, past editor of the CW Journal, past president of the Fort Worth Weavers Guild, and also belongs to Cross Country Weavers, Contemporary Handweavers of Texas, Dallas Handweavers and Spinners Guild, and HGA.
