Speaker: Valerie Musselman, ‘Crackle Weaving’: Interaction of Color and Weave Structure in 8 Shaft Crackle Threading.
Bio: Valerie has been weaving since 1980. “The thing that fascinates me most about weaving is working out ‘the puzzle’ of interlacement, the color interactions, and all the details that go into making an integrated cloth. I especially like to make complex looking fabrics with just a few shafts.”
