Continue your journey into the world of weaving at Beginning Weaving II on Saturday and Sunday, March 21-22 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Greenhouse Auditorium.
This 2-day class with instructor Sharon Bowles will be a continuation of Beginning Weaving I, but instead of everyone doing the same article, students will pick their own project, measure the warp, beam the warp, thread the heddles to their selected pattern, thread the reed, tie the warp to the cloth beam rod, wind bobbins and weave a sample of their selected yarn. Students will then weave samples from the other looms, giving them a wide variety of weave structures they can try out.
This course is a great way to continue your weaving journey!
$250/person. Register here. Registration will close March 14 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.
