About
Weaving combines color, fiber, and patterns in endless unique options to create cloth.
This five-session class is hands-on using floor looms and other equipment. The class will emphasize learning how to weave, how to set up a floor loom, how to plan projects, and how to read a weaving draft. We will also talk about weave structure and patterns. During the class you will weave samples with the focus on learning how to weave and plan.
Students will use BARN floor looms and equipment.
Details:
- Although the official class ends at 2, students are welcome to keep weaving throughout the afternoon (and evening if you are really motivated!).
- We have loom options for wheelchair access, let us know by emailing fiber.programming@bainbridgebarn.org.
Materials
There is a $30 materials fee included in the class price.
