Join us as BARN participates in Handwork: Celebrating American Craft 2026, a national initiative led by PBS's Craft in America and the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery.
About This Workshop
Spend the first three days of this workshop winding, preparing, and dyeing your warp and weft. The final two days you'll be at the loom, weaving your plain weave double ikat piece.
- Day 1: Make your warp.
- Day 2: Bind both warp and weft threads according to the pattern.
- Day 3: Dye your threads in indigo.
- Days 4 and 5: Dress your loom and weave your project.
Details
- You should be comfortable dressing a loom, and familiar with basic weaving terminology.
- We'll take a 30-minute lunch break so bring lunch and snacks with you each day. There is a refrigerator and microwave you can use on the lower level.
Materials
- A $35 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, covers everything you'll need.
- You need to bring weaving tools, apron, over-the-wrist sturdy gloves, and note-taking tools.
