Beginning Tapestry Weaving

Saturday, March 15th - 1pm-4pm

Using lap-sized, all-in-one laser-cut weaving looms that students will take home with them, participants will create a small tapestry using a variety of fiber-based materials (yarn, wool, locks, etc) and will learn a variety of weaving techniques. After looking at some examples and talking about a few basic design principles, participants will use colored pencils to create a rough design for their tapestry, working on intentionality. Then they will learn how to warp a basic frame loom as well as different methods of weaving techniques in order to create a variety of textured effects.

Materials Required: None
