NOTE: The weaving class listed below is designed for those who have woven tapestry techniques before or have taken our Introduction to Tapestry Weaving class.
TRANSPARENT TAPESTRIES
Oct. 26-27 (Sat.-Sun.) 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. 2 days
In this class, we will be creating designs on plain weave fabric using inlaid supplemental wefts. This technique is a bit faster than traditional tapestry and creates a lightweight ground cloth with individual forms woven within. Use up your oddments and have fun with color! We recommend that you bring your own loom, but you may also rent one from us. If you are bringing your own loom to class, let us know in the box the type and size loom you are bringing.
