Master Weaver Certification
This certification program is a self-paced, directed study that guides the weaver toward the achievement of specific goals. The program’s purpose is to encourage an increase of the participant’s weaving knowledge, skills, and craftsmanship. It is directed toward the weaver who already has the following basic skills: winding a warp, dressing a 4-shaft loom, reading a draft, weaving fabric, handling weft joints, and appropriately finishing hand woven cloth. The use of a loom with multiple shafts is required (four at the apprentice level). Participants are expected to research structures and techniques in recommended weaving texts.
The program is divided into three levels of increasing skill and knowledge: Apprentice, Journeyman, and Master. Each level has specific requirements that must be met to achieve certification for that level. These include weaving samples and functional articles, maintaining records, researching structures and techniques, and presenting the body of work by a specified due date.
The following .pdf documents will guide you through the process of applying for and achieving the goal of Master Weaver Certification.
