Workshop Info

Freeform tapestry weaving is an expressive, process-oriented way to explore traditional handweaving techniques to create a piece that is personal and unique. A standing tabletop loom enables us to incorporate a variety of fibers such as fluffy roving, long fleece locks, silk ribbon, and handspun art yarn. Using various weave structures and knotting methods, we'll discover how to achieve geometric shapes and contours.  

At the end of class, everyone will have completed their own mini sampler tapestry to take home.  All equipment, tools, and materials will be provided, including handspun yarn, hand-dyed roving, wool and mohair locks, eco-printed silk and wool gauze ribbon, linen paper yarn, and more. Participants are invited to bring any special fibers or yarn they might like to include in their works.
