In this beginner-friendly workshop\, participants will explore weave drafts as both practical tools and conceptual puzzles: systems of interdependent parts that can be read and manipulated. \nThrough guided exercises\, participants will learn how to interpret and modify 4-harness weave drafts while developing an understanding of how small structural changes create complex visual outcomes. The workshop approaches drafting not only as a weaving skill\, but as a way of thinking through pattern\, logic\, repetition\, and variation. \nThis workshop will be led by exhibiting artist Kimberly English\, whose work is on view in Process as Practice: Three Artists from Western NC at NCMA Winston-Salem Downtown through November 29\, 2026. English is a fiber artist and educator based in Canton\, NC. \nWhile some weaving experience may be helpful\, this course is also open to artists\, designers\, makers\, and visually curious people interested in systems-based thinking\, pattern construction\, and structured experimentation.

English is a fiber artist and educator based in Canton\, NC. \nWhile some weaving experience may be helpful\, this course is also open to artists\, designers\, makers\, and visually curious people interested in systems-based thinking\, pattern construction\, and structured experimentation.

In this beginner-friendly workshop\, participants will explore weave drafts as both practical tools and conceptual puzzles: systems of interdependent parts that can be read and manipulated. \nThrough guided exercises\, participants will learn how to interpret and modify 4-harness weave drafts while developing an understanding of how small structural changes create complex visual outcomes. The workshop approaches drafting not only as a weaving skill\, but as a way of thinking through pattern\, logic\, repetition\, and variation. \nThis workshop will be led by exhibiting artist Kimberly English\, whose work is on view in Process as Practice: Three Artists from Western NC at NCMA Winston-Salem Downtown through November 29\, 2026. English is a fiber artist and educator based in Canton\, NC. \nWhile some weaving experience may be helpful\, this course is also open to artists\, designers\, makers\, and visually curious people interested in systems-based thinking\, pattern construction\, and structured experimentation. Participation is free but registration is required. \n \nHeader image: Kimberly English\, The Devil’s Wife\, 2024\, handwoven cotton\, quilting cotton\, batting\, curtain fabric backing.
