Intermediate Class:
Joey Young will be leading a 3-day workshop at the Taos Wools classroom in Arroyo Seco, New Mexico. Centered on the use of TEXT as a form of expression in your weaving. Many weavers express themselves using color and design, in this workshop Joey would like to help everyone explore the power of words! We’ll discuss how to combine other elements (gradation, adding texture, layering designs) to compliment your design.
Students will be weaving a 15” x 15” piece during the class to ensure that they will be able to complete a piece in the 3-day timeframe.
This class is for intermediate weavers only due to the usage of slightly advanced techniques (gradation, hatching, weft bundling, addition of texture) alongside time constraints. During the class Joey will be helping to trouble shoot any issues that arise and answer any technique-related questions you may have.
Materials Provided:
Materials to Bring (optional):
Each day class starts at 9 AM with an hour break for lunch at noon. We wrap up the day at 4 PM all three days.
Joey Young was born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1981.
He is trained in traditional Zapotec style of weaving, also having studied tapestry and pattern weaving.
His influences come heavily from southwest designs (Navajo, chimayo and Pueblo style weaving) and Zapotec designs. Joey says “I am very drawn to nature and love weaving animals when I get a chance to”.
