Weaving on the Grass: Learn to Weave
Instructor: Tami Fuller
Saturday, August 27, 11AM-2PM
$35
In this 3-hour workshop students will learn the basics of warping, selecting yarns and basket weave and tabby weave while working with a gentle neutral palette, with a focus on texture and pattern to create a modern textured weaving. Instruction will include weaving time as well as finishing and hanging your work.
Students will leave with beginners weaving knowledge, and a completed fiber art piece. Loom not included, but can be purchased at the end of class. This will be held outside, weather permitting, on the lawn at the Carnegie.
About the Instructor:
Tami Fuller is a fiber artist based out of East Aurora, New York, working primarily as a weaver and felt artist. She uses her work to explore female focused trauma. Born and raised on a working fiber farm, Tami’s choice to use traditional women’s textile work as a medium to explore the female experience is a natural extension of her own personal growth. Teaching others came naturally. She is self-taught and works in abstract fiber, woven tapestry, felt and soft sculpture to communicate.

Partners in Art at the Carnegie Art Center
August 22—26, 2022
Monday—Friday – 9:30am-4:30pm
$650—deposit of $150 to hold your spot
Brushwork is the poetry of a painting and probably the most overlooked technical aspect of painting. This workshop will explore methods of getting your paint from palette to brush to canvas.
- How can the “way” you apply your paint help to define shape and form?
- How many brush strokes can you apply without going back for more paint?
- How do you use brushstrokes to create expressive shape and edges?
You will have the opportunity to paint a still life, an interior, a portrait or landscape as your subject since brushwork applies to all genres of painting.
Hongnian Zhang is internationally renowned for his magnificent and monumental figurative work and Lois Woolley is a nationally acclaimed portrait artist.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to work with these critically acclaimed artists. Please feel free to browse their websites for more information.
