This is the first of three gamps in this workshop. Gamps are great for getting a lot of information out of one warp. Colour and weave is pure magic - how can all these little sequences of dark and light net us so many remarkable little patterns? The patterns themselves are remarkable but the sequencing is very important - it is the source of so much of the “play” in all of my work.
Things we will learn:
- Practice making a warp with different numbers of warp ends in the seven different sequences.
- How putting in coloured divider threads help us keep each section clean and easy to read
- how crazy beautiful these patterns are
- how to read a gamp
