Double Trouble w/ The Weaving Mill - SEPT 27-28
Join us for our modular 2-part Workshop!
Location: 2003 W Fulton St, Studio #215, Chicago, IL 60612
Saturday Sept 27, 1pm-4pm | Workshop 1
Double Trouble: Intro to Drafting Doubleweave in Photoshop
led by Kendall Schauder
In the first installment of Double Trouble, students will learn the basics of building a doubleweave file for the TC2, developing weave structures for two separate cloths and playing with different strategies for bringing those cloths together through layer exchange and draft manipulation. Shifting the focus from image-making to draft and weave structure development, this workshop will apply drafting logic from the floor loom to the digital weaving context.
Working on a striped warp featuring two distinct color and material systems, students will have the opportunity to play with both graphic and textural plaids. The contrast between a wool warp on the first beam and a cotton warp on the second will encourage play with the possibilities of differential shrinkage and surface quality.
Students will receive an initial Photoshop pattern library and structural templates to develop their own doubleweave files and will have the opportunity to weave test files during the workshop.
Sunday Sept 28, 10 - 1pm | Open Weaving Time
TC2 Loom Authorization
led by LMRM Staff
If you are signed up with both Workshop 1 & 2, your bundle of tickets also include group weaving time for attendees to familiarize themselves with the TC2 looms and the specialty striped cotton and wool warp that Kendall and Emily have graciously proposed for LMRM’s experimental warp this cycle. LMRM staff will facilitate this period as loom authorization training, which means we would consider you authorized to request independent rental time on the loom outside of this workshop.
Sunday Sept 28, 1pm-4pm | Workshop 2
Double Trouble: Expanded approaches to Drafting Doubleweave
led by Emily Winter
In the second installment of Double Trouble, students will expand their doubleweave drafting toolkits with the introduction of AdaCAD’s Layer Notation operation. AdaCAD, an open-source web-based weaving workspace, applies parametric design principles to the development of weave structure and offers a unique approach to organizing warp and weft systems. Working between Photoshop and AdaCAD, students will explore new strategies for building and combining structure and graphic while playing with material combination and structural permutation.

Some prior experience with AdaCAD is helpful though not required. Students will receive a link for an AdaCAD workspace and a library of pattern constructions and will have the opportunity to weave test files during the workshop.
EXPERIENCE LEVEL:
These intermediate/advanced level workshops are designed to draw connections between analog and digital ways of understanding double-layer drafting. Experience in one or both of those realms is recommended. Attendees who have prior experience with the basics of drafting, multi-harness floor loom weaving, and/or Photoshop programming for the TC2 are encouraged to attend.
REQUIRED MATERIALS:
-personal laptop
-flash drive
-Photoshop and web browser for accessing AdaCad
Capacity will be limited to 15 attendees each workshop. These workshops are in-person only.
Participation in these workshops does not guarantee any specific rental portion of the warp, nor a rental slot. We book loom rentals separately from workshops and encourage you to book independent weaving time after the workshops here!
No refunds are available for cancellations or no-shows. Review our cancellation & refund policy, privacy policy, and media release policy here.
