Learn the basics of working with a loom at Beginning Weaving I in the Greenhouse Auditorium.
This 5-week class led by Sharon Bowles will encompass all aspects of beginner weaving as students create a table runner. Participants will become familiar with weaving terminology, parts of the loom, figuring the weaving pattern for the width of the loom and project, measuring out the warp, beaming the warp back to front, threading heddles, threading the reed, tying on the warp, and winding bobbins.
$250/person. Register here. Registration will close Feb. 7 or when capacity is reached. All sales are final.
Students should bring a 4-shaft loom if they have one. All other supplies will be provided, including a loom if needed.
