About
Fiber studio volunteers will coach you through using the warping boards, then transferring your warp to the loom and winding on. From there you can thread your heddles, reed and weave away!
Bring enough warp fiber for your project. We can coach you through winding your warp, setting up your loom, and putting your warp on the loom. This workshop focuses on back-to-front warping.

Materials
