This class is for anyone who is curious to try tablet weaving on an inkle loom. Tablet weaving utilizes weaving cards that are turned in certain ways to create warp-faced bands for trim, straps, belts, and the like. We will cover how to read beautiful patterns, warp, and weave on the loom. We will go over how to secure the start and end of bands especially for bookmarks and other small projects.
No experience required.
Students will need to either bring or rent an inkle loom. Loom rentals are $21/week. Weaving materials are included in the class - a set of Schacht weaving cards + yarn for warp and weft.
Please bring note-taking supplies.
