Oblique interlace is a technique for producing cloth that looks like plain weave turned onto a bias. The interlinking stitch taught in this course can form an introduction to fingerweaving and sprang: ancient fiber crafts that use just the fingers and minimal tools. Together we'll explore a low-tech method of interlacing which does not use a loom. The technique was traditional around the Great Lakes in the 1700s, and used for making straps and bags.  The fingers, some yarn, a pair of sticks, and a fixed point are all the materials necessary. Over three weeks we will explore progressively more difficult interlacing stitches that can each lead to varied and interesting projects.
