Nancy Marsh (Searles)
Cashmere, Washington

Nancy has taught weaving for more than 30 years. On the University level she taught beginning, intermediate, advanced and graduate level courses for 11 years. In addition, she has taught a wide variety of structural weaving topics involving 4–16 harnesses; color considerations and color blending to weaving guilds across the country, at regional conferences and at Convergence. HGA awarded her the Outstanding Teacher Award in 1987. In 1984, she published The Technique of Freeform Design, a book devoted to helping weavers expand their horizons and weave freeform 2-dimensional designs using a simple loom-controlled technique. Articles about freeform design have been published in the major weaving journals, beginning in 1980.

In this seminar, Nancy shares the development of Freeform Design Technique and presents Freeform Twill using woven samples, wallcharts, handouts and a demonstration loom. A slide presentation includes slides of the instructor's Freeform Design work, as well as Freeform pieces by other weavers.

In this seminar, the instructor will share the universal aspects of color—aspects which govern our lives from birth to death. The concept of color will be taught with graphs and an explanation for each of the basic seven colors. In addition, she will conduct an experiment with the group which demonstrates unequivocably that we respond to colors in the universal and natural manner which she presents. Learning to trust in our natural knowledge of color is the best resource for selecting color combinations for woven pieces.

Supplies: None.
Fee: None.
