Description

This is an introduction to basic floor loom weaving, but with a sense of adventure and fun. Weaving is a unique creative medium that asks us to make many design decisions before we even touch our yarn. This can seem intimidating, but in this hands-on workshop we'll learn how to make it liberating. First we will explore an approachable, step-by-step design process and then dress the looms with enough yarn to weave some samples as well as the project you've designed, using yarns you bring with you. We will weave a series of explorations of color, texture, and pattern, each one like a page in a book, to make the warp into a personal weaving journal. Participants will leave the workshop with an understanding of how to make the interaction of warp and weft work for you.
