this class can give you an answer. Participants use a 4-shaft floor loom to
weave a pre-warped color sampler in plain weave that can be used as a
table mat or wall hanging. In addition to learning basic techniques for
weaving a stable cloth, participants are introduced to the way colors work
in weaving and basic weaving terms. No prior weaving experience is
necessary – just an earnest desire to truly learn some time-honored basics
of weaving. Class is limited to four (4) students in this four-session class
and enrollment will close two weeks prior to class start. Students should
bring small sharp scissors or snips; a measuring tape or 6-inch sewing
ruler; and $5 (payable to the instructor) for the detailed class handout. All
materials are provided for this beginner class.
