Improvisational Tapestry Weaving

Service Description

Tapestry Weaving on a Frame Loom will cover the basics of weft-faced tapestry techniques, cartoon drawing, and setting up a frame loom. The frame loom is a simple, portable tool which can be used to make wall hangings or small textile squares to be pieced together into a larger project. This is the perfect class for the very beginner weaver and seasoned weavers looking to have a bit of fun. During the first part of the class, participants will learn how to warp their loom and be introduced to plain weave as well as a variety of weaving techniques, such as clasped weft, slit weave, leno or knotted lace weaves, and hatching. After a lunch break, the focus will be on weaving a larger project and more one-on-one feedback based on individual direction. The day will conclude with learning a hem stitch to finish off the weaving and studio clean-up.
