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 2-day workshop, 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 4 mug rugs each representing a different technique learned in class. 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 natural hand-dyed yarn will be available. Students are welcome to bring their own yarn, as well as a heavy metal fork to use as a beater to pack the weft threads down. Materials fee: $10 (please come with cash and pay the instructor at the start of the workshop), and a security deposit of $50 will be required at the beginning of the class for the loan of the loom. This workshop is appropriate for ages 12+ years old
