Do you think you have an interest in weaving? This 2-day class is designed to help you discover the magic, fun, and endless possibilities of weaving on a floor loom. Students will be introduced to some of the basics of weaving including weaving terminology as well as the parts of the loom and how they work. Students will learn to wind a warp, dress a loom, and read a weaving draft or pattern. The instructor will guide students through this process as they create a plain weave scarf with a knotted fringe.

NOTE: Please refrain from wearing scented lotion or perfume. Janie is painfully sensitive to fragrance.

Supplies to Bring:

  • Fibers/materials for this class will be provided by the instructor. Students should be prepared to pay the $10 packet fee along with the materials fee (will vary) on the first day of class. Cash, check or Venmo only will be accepted
  • Bring a folder or binder for the handout (it is several pages).
  • Pack a lunch and beverage. A refrigerator and microwave are available. If you choose to keep a beverage near you while in the classroom it must be in a container with a spill proof lid.

Janie has a deep passion for textiles that has lead her to study and become proficient in almost anything related to yarn and fabric. Crochet and macrame were the first techniques she learned at age 9 and she's never stopped. The current list includes weaving (on all types of looms), spinning, kumihimo (Japanese braiding), finger loop braiding, batik and resist dyeing, embroidery, crochet, knitting, tatting, macrame, beadwork, basketry, sewing, clothing design and shoe making.

Janie has Bachelor of Art degree with an emphasis in Textiles from Berea College. It was during her first weaving class at Berea that she discovered a talent and love for teaching. She has been teaching widely varied textile related classes to adults and children since 1999. It gives her great satisfaction to share her passion for textiles and teach her students new skills that bring them joy.
