3-day workshop with Jennifer Moore

Thursday – Saturday, July 30 – August 1, 2026

9:00 AM – 5: PM

2 Layers, 4 or 8 Shafts, 6 Colors – Endless possibilities!

Discover the magic of color in weaving with internationally renowned fiber artist Jennifer Moore in this immersive and inspiring doubleweave workshop. Often described as the ultimate color sampler, this class invites weavers to explore the dazzling possibilities of layered cloth, shifting color, and optical illusion.

Before the workshop, students will prepare a warp using Jennifer’s unique system for arranging multiple colors in rotational sequence. Once at the loom, a simple two-layered doubleweave structure opens the door to extraordinary results as colors interact, overlap, and move past one another to create luminous iridescence, moiré effects, and endlessly surprising visual mixtures.

Throughout the workshop, students will experiment with a variety of structures including warp rep, warp-faced twills, and other single-layer techniques that reveal the incredible versatility of this warp design. Weavers working on eight shafts with two blocks will also have the opportunity to explore dynamic block combinations and expansive pattern possibilities.

In addition to hands-on weaving, Jennifer will present a comprehensive lecture on block doubleweave design, giving students practical tools and creative strategies for designing their own doubleweave patterns on any shaft configuration.

Whether you are drawn to bold color exploration, complex structure, or the thrill of discovering unexpected effects in cloth, this workshop offers a rich and inspiring deep dive into the art of doubleweave. Leave with a remarkable sampler, a stronger understanding of color theory and optical mixing in weaving, and countless ideas for future projects.
