Lecture: Designing with Painted Warps
Wednesday, May 6th, 2026 at 10:00 am PST, during the guild meeting
Non-guild members are welcome
Hybrid Meeting

Painted warps often feel tricky, design-wise. They contain lots of colors, react with weft colors in a (seemingly) unpredictable way, and can appear and disappear your woven pattern in your project. And it’s hard to visualize the results in advance.

Fear not! Painted warps are indeed complex, but understanding a few things about color and design will enable you to create beautiful projects with them.
