Shaped weaving
a workshop with jes reyes
​intuitive methods in textile sculpture

Friday, November 15
10AM-12:30 PM
Weavers Guild of Minnesota
​Free & all supplies provided

Are you interested in exploring how to transform a flat tapestry weaving into a sculptural form? Multidisciplinary artist Jes Reyes (@jesreyesart) will help you do just that. Her intuitive weaving process opens up the possibilities of lap-loom weaving. She will share her methods and how and why she picked up weaving. Participants will walk away with a one-of-a-kind creation and a Beka tapestry loom, tools, and accessories to continue weaving on their own. They will also receive a free copy of Jes’s artist book, “Until Off the Loom.” Participants are encouraged to bring materials to weave into their work (e.g., scrap yarn, fabric pieces, ribbon, rope).

​Shaped Weaving is a workshop for the beginner, the curious, and the experienced weaver.

Registration full.

AND...leading up to the workshop, I will host two Intuitive Weaving Circles at the Weavers Guild on October 4th and November 1st from 10AM to 12 PM. This is a casual time for weavers, fiber artists, and weaver-curious folk to unite and make together. There is no cost, and I will have looms and supplies available.
​
What is intuitive weaving, you ask? It's about process over outcome. The idea is to make it because you need to, because you love to. It's about tuning into yourself and being open to free associations - to go inward and use the present moment to make something. At least, that's my definition right now. What does it sound like to you? What's your definition?

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage.
