From Sketch to Loom: The Power of Blocks
with Dawne Wimbrow and Barry Duncan
From Sketch To Design, meaning we’ll be working with images in a grid, turning into profile drafts, and applying block substitution to make a draft. Design in blocks, not threads. This hands-on session walks through three routes to a profile draft in TempoWeave: sketching one directly, building one in the Profile Designer with symmetries and mirrors, and pulling one out of a photograph or drawing your own in the Image Center. Then we make it weaveable with block substitution and applying color.
Requirements: Prior Weave Design experience on a computer, a computer with TempoWeave Pro installed.
