Have you ever wanted to study a weaving topic privately with a master weaver/mentor, but didn't think it possible - the time, the travel, the expense? Well, the Handweaving Guild of America's program, TLC (Teaching and Learning through Correspondence) allows you to do just that - with relative ease, in your own home, and for much less than what you would expect. Following her desire to learn the Theo Moorman technique and weave ecclesiastical garments, Bonnie Klatt signed up and was on her way. Follow her through the twists and turns of her TLC journey and find out what Theo Moorman technique is all about.

Participants bring looms warped according to instructions and learn easy and revolutionary techniques for successful weaving with fine linen and cotton threads, beginning with warping with the Trapeze, progressing through ambidextrous threading and sleying from the center out, weaving with ‘live weight’ tension, and fine tuning the equipment and the weaver for easy, successful and lustrous linens. Mini-sessions are included on Lithuanian linen towels, warp building and finishing linens. This is a weave-on-your-own-loom and exchange, for a beginning linen notebook. The emphasis of this workshop is the process of weaving with special attention on healthy body mechanics. 18- 24 hours, to 15 participants with basic weaving skills.
