Interlacement Symposium - May 2010

Teaching at the Interlacement Symposium in Vancouver, B.C. was great fun.

My hosts Sandra and Doug Crompton are avid photographers, and Sandra's lovely photos of Vancouver landscapes and flora provided design inspiration for several participants in the "Colour in Cloth" workshop. We explored how different weave structures mix and blend colors and applied this knowledge to original designs. Below are examples of designs by Sandra, Jo, and Chris - inspired by Sandra's photos.

Sandra also introduced me to Maiwa, a wonderful resource for all things textile - workshops, supplies, podcasts and more. I look forward to returning to Vancouver and studying at Maiwa next year. http://www.maiwa.com
