About

Build a foundation for future waxed linen weaving classes as you learn how to create a round medallion out of waxed linen using the twining method. You'll be introduced to two techniques for starting the medallion as well as a number of strategies for creating exciting and colorful patterns. This process is the first step toward making a waxed linen basket or sculpture, but is also a great project on its own. By the end of class you will have a beautiful, colorful medallion that you can finish into a necklace, ornament, or coaster.

Katy Levit

Bainbridge Island artist Katy Levit creates hand-made, one-of-a-kind sculptures and functional pieces in both porcelain and fiber. Inspired by nature and the everyday objects around her, Katy’s work explores vulnerability, chaos, and the wonder that can be found in the ordinary. In addition to her own studio practice, Katy enjoys teaching others the delight that can be found in creating something that wasn’t there before. When Katy’s not in the studio she can be found hiking on one of the island’s forest trails or curled up with a cup of tea, a book, and a small dachshund.
