May Sprang Class 2021
CA$300.00
Application Register for an on-line introduction to sprang class here. The class consists of six weekly Zoom sessions of 2 hours duration each. Starting Thursday, May 13 at 7 PM UK time, and every subsequent Thursday until June 17. Instruction will be available by video (which you can watch over and over) PDF instruction sheets for you to peruse, and live demo and feedback. Each week's instruction builds on what we covered last week. Optional homework assignments help you to practice and better master the technique. Pilot tests of this class have received rave reviews. Individuals who have participated in previous 3-day intensive sprang workshops say they gained so much more from this class which spread out the same information over six weeks. The time in-between allowed for reflection, absorption, and mastery of the material. Included in the price is an already warped sprang frame, a copy of Sprang Unsprung, a copy of the DVD Introduction to Sprang, assorted other bits, as well as six weekly Zoom sessions of 2 hours each. We will cover the basic interlinking stitch, several finishing techniques, how to warp your loom, as well as a variety of surface design techniques. Class meets Thursday afternoons at 7PM in the UK, 8PM in mainland Europe (in North America, that's 1pm Central, 2pm in New York, 12 noon Mountain and 11AM Pacific time), starting May 13, and running through to June 17, 2021 Registration will be limited to 12, to assure adequate teacher-student ratio. The cost is £172 for those in the UK, $240 USD for those in the US, which converts to $300 CAD. Registration will close on April 22, 2021. If you have any question or concerns please contact me |
