Weaving
Fringe Benefits: Ringers Who Can Weave
This introductory workshop will demonstrate how to make bell switches smoothly and quickly so you can ring accidentals with ease. Using one of five basic weaving patterns and their variations, you will learn how to move your body to avoid crossing hands, how to damp while weaving, and how to pass a bell to another ringer when navigating a difficult passage.
