Introduction to Weaving
Class - Textiles | Available
Students will learn the essentials of weaving on a floor loom. We discuss how the loom works, choose our yarns, dress the loom and weave our fabric. This workshop is designed for a fun time to explore weaving (assisted by a professional weaver) and creating your self-designed fabric.
Students will learn to prepare their warp and then thread the yarns on the looms (dress the loom) using a versatile pattern and weave structure to explore vibrant patters and color plays.
Students can use the studio to work on their projects between the class times.
