About this event
LOOM WEAVING FOR BEGINNERS
This hands-on, interactive weaving class introduces the basics of weaving on a loom and the self-soothing benefits!
Although you won’t take home a finished project, you will learn the basics of weaving projects, such as wall decor, coasters, amulets, bracelets, and placemats, etc. depending on your interests.
Learning includes:
- Warping the loom.
- A variety of weaving stitches and techniques.
- How to design with various yarns, fibers, and natural elements.
- How to remove any (future) art from the loom and finish it off, making it worthy of display.
- All supplies are provided. You may bring your loom if you have one.
- A display of finished weavings for technique inspiration and purchase.
Participants will work with materials and supplies to gain an understanding of the craft of loom weaving. Dana will recommend resources to further evolve weaving on your own! This course is a basic introduction to the craft, to help you decide what to make in the future.
Weaving has been an immersive Zen experience for me. When life presents challenges from which I need to escape and self-soothe, weaving has been a soulful adventure! I have intuited many ‘lessons about life’ from my weaving journey that I will share with you in the hopes that you will benefit from the joy, creativity, and wisdom that weaving offers. Expect to experience an inspiring class with a playful and positive vibe!
Workshop 16+/All Materials included.
