WORKSHOP STRUCTURE | This is a "+1 workshop," which means it includes both a shared instruction day and one independent working day at the studio. The independent day doesn't include formal teaching, but studio staff will be available to assist when needed. The +1 day must be used within two months of the workshop day and is typically scheduled as either one weekday (10 AM - 6 PM) or two consecutive weekday evenings (4 PM - 8 PM).

Workshop instructor: Pirita Lauri

Teaching language: English

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN | During the shared day, everyone will work through the same guided exercises using prepared sample images. You'll gain the essential skills for designing your own more complexed jacquard patterns and preparing digital files. You can use your independent day to either weave your own designs or continue practising with sample files.

For the course, you need to bring your own laptop with Photoshop. In the Jacquard beginner course, the free Photopea program is suitable for processing simpler patterns. However, colour management of multi-tonal sketches or structuring for multiple wefts, which are done in this course, requires the Photoshop program.

If you wish, you can participate without your own Photoshop or computer and apply the instructions in practice later when you have access to the software. You can also book the studio’s computer for later.
