Workshop continues on April 10 from 9:00AM to 4:00PM, location TBD.

Topic: Mixed Media Weaving on a Simple Loom

Description: Learn many stitches and techniques to create exciting and unique weavings, made on a simple loom that you’ll build in class. Students will string their looms, use yarn and fabric strips to build the main structure, and add optional embellishments such as: lace, string, ribbon, shells, sticks, and jewelry parts. Whether you prefer symmetrical or random shapes, flat surfaces or undulating textures, realistic or abstract designs, you’ll gain the knowledge and skills needed to produce the look you choose. You’ll also learn to make tassels, pompoms, and fringes to add to your pieces. Once you have completed your weaving, you’ll learn how to remove it from the loom, secure it, and hang it. No weaving or art experience is necessary to take this workshop, or to make fabulous and unique pieces of art! By the end of class, you will have your new weaving(s) to hang on the wall, as well as your reusable loom, and the skills to continue this fun, relaxing, versatile, and rewarding art form. All materials will be provided at no additional charge. Please also feel free to bring your own fabrics, yarns and mixed media embellishments.
