The techniques of WT 101, Workroom Shortcuts, Draperies and Shades are expanded in this 4-Day class. Topics covered in this 4-day class include a multitude of top treatments; basic and a variety of more difficult swags; jabots/cascades; a variety of box pleat styles; making and applying decorative trimmings, including banding, shaped banding, mitered banding, ruffles, and cording; applying fringe and twisted cord; various Roman shades, including London, relaxed, and ‘swagged’. See day to day outline below:
Day 1:
- Different styles of pleats are discussed with an emphasis on box pleat styles.
- There is a discussion on tips and tricks with the emphasis on cording and banding tricks. The students make one of two styles of box pleated valances. If you want to bring your own fabric for this class you would need 1.5 yards of two coordinating fabrics.
Day 2:
- Swags and Cascades. Discussion on how to plan on the number and size of swags needed for a treatment, different styles and variations. Hands-on fabrication of a pair of swags and cascades completes the day. The amount of fabric used on this day is 4 yards of face fabric and 2 yards of a contrasting fabric. The swag will be cut on the bias, so fabrics such as toile do not work well for this treatment. Sheer fabric is also not a good choice for this day or any of the projects for the WT 102 class.
Day 3:
- Creative Valance Day. You will have many styles to choose from and will be given directions to follow for their fabrication - with help from the teacher. Styles vary on this day, but the most fabric you would need would be 4 yards each of a face fabric and a contrasting fabric, and about 6 yards of trim (optional). Many of the styles work best with fabrics that can be railroaded.
Day 4:
- London Shade Day. There will be a discussion of various styles of London Shades and Relaxed Romans. Students construct either a London Shade with contrasting inserts or a Trapezoid style shade. Fabric - 2 yards each of a face and contrasting fabric.
