Tapestry Weaving (Winter)
WINTER: JANUARY 5 - FEBRUARY 22
SUNDAYS
Time:
2-4PM
Open Studio Week:
2/16 - 2/22
Class Description:
In this course we will learn all basic elements of tapestry weaving. Each student will receive a loom and learn to prepare the loom to weave. We will then use this setup to all weave a sampler which will teach the basics of tapestry weaving. Once we have all gained this confidence and experience students will then begin to work with designs of their choosing. Students will have the option to work with as simple or complex designs as they choose with plenty of oversight and assistance from their instructor. This class is intended to be a fun and approachable introduction to a complex craft form. We will look at many books of tapestry from around the world so students can connect further with the history and beauty of the medium. Every student will leave with their own tapestry as well as a loom and the knowledge to continue weaving.
NOTE: THERE IS A $25 MATERIALS FEE FOR THIS CLASS. PLEASE SELECT THE ADD-ON BELOW.
