3-Week Introduction to Tapestry Weaving

Learn to weave on a Tapestry Loom!

Saturdays, February 22, March 1 & 8, from 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

Have you always been intrigued by beautiful handwoven textiles, wanted to understand how they were made, and maybe learn this ancient craft? Then this is a class for you.

In this 3-day workshop (over three weeks), you will be introduced to the age-old practice of weaving and discover the rewarding aspect of creating objects for useful or decorative purpose. Weaving can also be a meditative parenthesis in our fast-paced world.

You will learn the basic weaving techniques needed to set you on your weaver’s journey such as:

– How to warp a tapestry loom

– Plain tapestry weave (single and double weft tapestry)

– Weft interlock and slit weave

– Weft-faced color blending

– Turkish knots (if we have sufficient time).

We will weave a sampler and a final project representing different learned techniques.

Students will work on a vertical tapestry loom (18”×24”) which can be taken home each week to practice and work on the project assigned.

A variety of yarn will be available. Students are welcome to bring their own yarn, as well as a heavy metal fork to use as beater to pack the weft threads down.

A security deposit of $50 will be required at the beginning of the class for the loan of the loom during the duration of the class.
