Tumbling Blocks Triaxial Fabric Weaving
Mx Domestic
Join us for a weaving workshop!
Mx Domestic, Matthew Boudreaux, will teach us the tumbling blocks weave (3 axes) using fabric strips in a color palette of your choice. The workshop will be on Zoom so you’ll be sitting in your home sewing studio for this class. Please note, this class will NOT be recorded.
CLASS DESCRIPTION
The tumbling blocks weave is a perfect weave to learn first when wanting to take on triaxial design. By using three unique fabrics, one per layer, it allows for the best visualization of how to weave each layer to create this ubiquitous pattern. And once the blocks start forming in the third layer, you’ll be hooked for life and ready to take on your next weave.
Experience Level: Beginner
REQUIRED SUPPLIES
Fabric for weaving: 1⁄2 yard each of 3 fabrics
20” x 20” piece of medium weight woven fusible interfacing
20” x 30” foam board
Pins, pins, and more pins
Sharpie marker
Masking tape
Weaving tool
Sewing Machine and iron required
OPTIONAL SUPPLIES
That Purple Thang
1” Bias Tape Maker
Thermal Thimbles
PREPERATION REQUIRED
Students should prepare their strips before the class begins so that we can focus on weaving during our time together. Each half yard of fabric should be cut into nine 2” x WOF strips. The raw edges should be folded toward the center lengthwise and pressed with starch to ensure crispy folds. My favorite way to transport prepared strips is to wrap them around a piece of cardboard or foam board while pinning the ends of the strips to keep them in place.
I will provide students with a PDF copy of the pattern and a link to a prep video once we get closer to the event. All of the weaves I’ll be teaching are in my Fabric Weaving Book and my Weaving Tool should be available by then.
REGISTRATION
Member Cost $ 73
Minimum number of participants required to hold the workshop: 12
Maximum number: 30
Registration Deadline: Thursday October 1st
Non Member Cost $95 (If the class is not filled by September 17 we will open registration to the public)
