This workshop will introduce participants to the basics of loom weaving.
Long-time weaver Tim Field will discuss the history of weaving, identify loom styles & function of their parts, and highlight what can be made on a loom. Participants will then move on to weave either a table runner or a place mat with recycled/reclaimed fabrics of their choice.
At the conclusion of the class, rugs will be cut off the looms and ends finished so they can be taken home. Tim will bring samples of items woven on looms for students to draw inspiration for future projects.
ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Tim learned to weave in 2014 when the museum he worked for restored an antique loom and he had to demonstrate it. After initially weaving rag rugs, Tim taught himself fancier weave structures and began a never-ending adventure in weaving. Tim has been actively involved with 4 weaving guilds, taken classes, taught classes, and continues to learn new weave structures and techniques, including spinning and using natural dyes for some projects.
