July 21 - 25
9am - 12pm
5 sessions

This workshop is designed to give students a thorough and intensive grounding in hand weaving on a rigid heddle loom, with specific focus on color and weave technique, tapestry, and a variety of open weave structures.

This 5 day session will cover foundational weaving skills such as direct warping and loom set up. Learning these skills will lead to a finished wall hanging incorporating a variety of techniques.

We will strive toward making good decisions which will lead to success and encourage the development of your own distinctive voice as a weaver. The combination of technique and skill leads to the reward of creative cloth.

All materials will be provided, and no experience is necessary.
