About this Event
Check out my profile all my other fiber art classes, in-person and online available. Let’s weave together.
This frame-loom tapestry weaving class is great for beginners and fiber-fanatics alike!
We are innately drawn to the charms of weaving, evocative of so many rich metaphors – of bringing disparate parts into a whole, interlacing of ideas, the inter-dependency of the communal. It’s a human technology that has been around for 27,000 years and still captivates us.
In this 5.5 - hour workshop on handmade pine table looms, you'll learn all the basic stitches, a few fancy stitches and more, in my unique take on tapestry weaving!
We'll cover warping, layering shag tassels, shapes, chunky textures and working with reclaimed and unusual fibers.
I provide all the tools and materials you need, including my huge stash of luxurious handspun wools, boutique yarns, jutes, natural fibers, wool roving and upcycled fabrics, so your weaving is totally unique and won't look like anyone elses!
You'll come away with a finished, totally one-of-a-kind weaving wall hanging, ready for you to mount at home any way you like!
Sparkling water and wrapped snacks provided!
PLEASE READ FAQ BELOW BEFORE BOOKING.
The Garden Workshops are held in a small urban forest with towering heritage Douglas Fir trees, that create a cool and pleasant shade garden, even in the height of summer. These take place from June-Sept.
Workshops are held rain or shine, because there is a covered workshop and a festival tent.
Now, from Oct - May, workshops will again be held inside my light-filled custom built studio, with woodstove.

Sadly, we cannot accommodate people who arrive late.
Demos start promptly at the start of class time.Due to the structure of class, demos cannot be re-done for late-comers without cutting things out of class for everyone.
