The Power of Block Design: Lecture

  • Jockey Hollow Weavers Mendham New Jersey (map)

Jockey Hollow Weavers, Mendham, New Jersey

May 4 – 7:00 pm EDT

Block designs consist of black and white squares on grid paper, where black is considered the pattern block and white the background block. Through a PowerPoint Presentation, learn how the binary number system is used to develop the sixteen textures of 4-shaft huck lace, and how these textures are expanded to develop the definitive number of 2-block motifs. These sixteen motifs, (eight 4-part symmetric and eight 2-part symmetric), become the building blocks of more elaborate patterns.
