Morning Program: “Deflected Doubleweave Journey”.
Learn about her journey and process for mixing color and fiber in deflected doubleweave. Natalie
focuses on mixing hand dyed yarn using multiple warps for this weave structure. Decisions take place following sample analysis concerning fiber, color (value and hue), sett, and washing/finishing methods. Her design process is outlined including a subtle clasped weft.
Afternoon Program: “Surface design using Deflected Doubleweave in woven shibori”
Natalie discusses a continuation of her journey using Deflected Doubleweave as pattern for Woven Shibori using a variety of dyeing methods most notably her ice dye techniques. Cross-dyeing using plant and animal fibers creates a multicolor phenomenon on woven shibori samples
