Marian Stubenitsky has always been curious about the possibilities in the inexhaustible field of weaving. She has enjoyed sharing her enormous knowledge, over the decades, in courses, lectures, and articles. Writing and publishing books on various themes are an added stimulus for her to continue researching. Her interests in art, nature, and science are the inspiration; structures, materials, especially colors, are the tools with which she arrives at her designs and weavings. Exchanges with other weavers, through meetings and social media, are an incentive to keep going.
A Parallel Universe — Echo & Corris
It takes a village, or at least a bunch of weavers brainstorming, to make one halt, take a right turn, and look at drafts and structures in a whole new light. Marg is joined by Marian to present their explorations.
Just when you think you have a good handle on formulating structures, something comes up to show you how wrong you can be!
In separate, but ultimately related incidents, Marian Stubenitsky, Marg Coe, and Amy Norris, discovered that it isn’t always the threading, the tie up and treadling, or liftplan, that determine structure, but the placement of a design line can change it all.
The concept is fresh, explaining what is happening isn’t easy either, but watch as we change structures with very simple commands.
From double weave, to jin, with twills and basket weave; from jin variations to summer & winter to taqueté. It’s magic!
And we continue to explore . . .
