Creating Volume in Tapestry with Rya Knots

With Catherine Loweree Williams In this intermediate tapestry workshop, explore the ways in which different types of rya knots can create volume and texture in a tapestry. Learn how to build knots in both lines and shapes, and how to use different types of yarn to achieve different effects. We will be making a sampler that allows students to practice the different knots, but students can incorporate as much design as they would like in their weaving. At the end of the workshop participants will be able to: Use a variety of rya knot techniques Create areas of high and low volume in a tapestry Understand how different types of yarn produce different effects Two- Day Workshop Day 1 - Wednesday, October 28 Day 2 - Wednesday, November 4
