Overview
Join us for a Jacquard Weaving day course where you can transform design ideas into 1m of woven jacquard cloth. The course will cover the basics of jacquard design and theory, to enable you to develop your own jacquard ideas. You will be supported to use specialist software to create a design file for weaving. You will be able to choose from a range of available yarns to specify fabric ideas. At the end of the course, 1m of cloth will be woven for each student and posted. The course is suitable for those with an interest in design and textiles, but no previous jacquard experience is required.
Topics include:
- CAD design for jacquard
- Jacquard weaving theory
- Choosing appropriate materials for weaving
