This once-popular technique makes extremely durable and beautiful rugs using fabric for both warp and weft.  Making hot-pad samplers in class will give you the expertise to design and create full-sized rugs.  The twining techniques can also be applied to a variety of materials. Day 1: basic twining techniques with simple pattern variations. Day 2: introduces warping variations and more complex patterning, including taaniko and/or three-weft twining. Day 3: introduction to circular and elliptical twining without a frame. Participants complete at least 3 samplers.
