If you have taken our *Framed Weaving Workshop or have ever woven a project using a kit, consider this class the next level. We'll be taking a deep dive into design, shape, and mastering various techniques using tabletop tapestry looms.
Building on the skills covered in the Framed Weaving class, we'll spend time project planning and discussing design fundamentals. With a focal point and clear design sketched out, you'll explore different stitch patterns like a twill or basket weave. This longer workshop allows for more exploration by building layers of texture with soumak, rya knots, or interlocking shapes.
By the end of the second session, you will learn how to remove your piece from the loom. We will discuss possible projects for your weaving - consider wall hangings, tote bags, garments, pillow coverings, tabletop uses, and other housewares.
All supplies and tools will be provided including:
