"Weave It Polychrome!"
Susan Wilson
Polychrome means “many colors.” If a textile has many colors, is it always polychrome? And how is a weave structure “woven polychrome”? In this slide-lecture, you’ll learn the answer to these questions and how to use this exciting technique to add complexity and richness to familiar four- to eight-shaft weaves such as twill, overshot, summer and winter, crackle, and laces.
Susan Wilson received the HGA Certificate of Excellence in Handweaving, Master Level, in 1990, with a specialty in crackle weave. Her work has been published in Weaver's, Handwoven, Complex Weavers Journal, and Shuttle Spindle & Dyepot magazines, and her crackle sample was featured on the cover of A Weaver's Book of 8-Shaft Patterns edited by Carol Strickler. She has lectured and taught workshops throughout the U.S. and at several Convergences and regional conferences. A weaver for 40 years, Susan enjoys pattern weaving, sampling to explore woven structure, and creating household textiles and clothing accessories.
