TC2: Hybrid Workshop
In this hybrid workshop led by Sarah Finkle and Alissa Estivariz Lopez, we will offer both an online introduction to the TC2 loom along with an in-person experience. The online course will focus on the basics of creating files for one shuttle and simple two shuttle images through Photoshop. The online portion will be held on Tuesday, 25. November from 16-18. Photoshop is required to participate. After a week students will have a chance to join in person to weave and experiment using the two TC2 looms at the Textile Lab at the Icelandic Textile Center. This will be held in-person on Saturday, 6. December 2025 from 9 - 17, and Sunday, 7. December 2025 from 9 - 15.
The Icelandic Textile Center has two TC2 digital looms located at the Textile Lab. One is 12 threads/cm, and the other is 18 threads/cm, both of which are well-suited for artistic weaving, home textiles, and all kinds of textile design.
All materials are provided, however participants are encouraged to bring their own weft yarns, as the selection in the Textile Lab is limited. The warp yarn is black and white mercerized cotton, size 16/2, so most types of weft yarns (wool, cotton, linen, etc.) are suitable.
The course fee is ISK 50,000. Spots are limited, so please book your spot here by 21st of November! Accommodation is not included.
We look forward to seeing you!
