This is the sixth class in the Towels Series within 6 volumes. The thought behind these classes is to incorporate ways for students to learn more about weave structures and patterning along with projects that everyone loves to weave and use. The series consists of Towels Vol 1- The Twills, Vol 2- Plain Weave Structures, Vol 3- Lacey Weaves, Vol 4- Shadow Weaves, Vol 5 -Textures and lastly Vol 6- Fibonacci. Be sure to check the class schedule and over the next several years you could end up with 4 to 5 dozen interesting and educational towels.

The Fibonacci series is a mathematical marvel that was discovered in the 15th century by mathematician Fibonacci. This series of numbers is also known as the Golden Ratio and has been used by designers for years to help achieve the perfect balance or most pleasing look to their creative works. Weavers also use this series and we would like to show you how to apply the numbered sequence to create one of a kind towels.
In this week long workshop, you will weave dish towels using a variety of different weave structures using the Fibonacci theory. You’ll have an opportunity to work on 10 different looms pre-warped in a round robin setting with different color options. Each student will be able to explore weave structures such as Plain Weave, Twill, Turned Twill Lace Weaves and other structures that incorporate color and weave effects. The use of color will also play a big part in the study of this fascinating design tool and help create beautiful shades.
