Archie Brennan and Susan Martin Maffei
TAPESTRY WORKSHOP - DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
3 Days $185
Friday, September 18, Saturday, September 19 &
Sunday, September 20, 9:30-4:30pm
In woven tapestry there is an intriguing interplay between acquiring techniques and applying them to a design or an idea. Last year’s workshop focused mainly on basic techniques. This September we plan to focus on design development using these techniques.
USE OF LOOMS AND MATERIALS PROVIDED.
BEGINNING TAPESTRY WEAVING SKILLS REQUIRED.

Archie Brennan has been a leading international figure in tapestry for more than 25 years. His work is in major art museums around the world, and he has taught and lectured at universities and art schools since 1962. He began a 7 year full time tapestry apprenticeship in 1948 and is also an arts graduate, both out of Edinburgh, Scotland.

Susan Martin Maffei is an internationally known tapestry artist and instructor whose background includes art studies at “The Art Students League” in New York City, tapestry training at Les Gobelins in Paris and apprenticeship and studio work at the Scheuer Tapestry Studio, NYC. Maffei has been weaving her own work professionally since 1985. She has taught, lectured and exhibited in the United States and abroad. She has work in both public and private collections.

Because Archie and Susan are visiting instructors our rules on class sign up will be different. To register in the class we must have full payment at the time of registration. If for some reason you cannot take the class after signing up, a refund will be made only if we can fill your space. We have made a commitment to these instructors and are liable for costs.

Cheryl Oberle
FAROESE SHAWL
1 Day $75
Saturday, December 5, 10-4pm
The Faroe Islands get their name from the Norwegian word for Fairyland. The traditional Faroese shawl is indeed a magical garment. Light as a feather, it has a triangular shape that is uniquely designed to stay on your shoulders. The secret is a center back gusset. The shawl is also a wonderful canvas for lace or color knitting. Knit a miniature shawl to learn the special techniques of shaping, lace knitting, two color knitting, finishing and blocking. INTERMEDIATE KNITTING SKILLS REQURED.

Cheryl Oberle - Spends her days knitting, designing and teaching. Besides being the founder of KNITAWAY IN THE ROCKIES, she is the author of FOLK SHAWLS, FOLK VESTS, KNITTED JACKETS: 20 DESIGNS FROM CLASSIC TO CONTEMPORAY.
