Skills Needed: must be able to warp a loom independently and read a draft. Class Limit: 6. Class Location: 1st and 2nd floors. Minimum Age: Adult

Next Step Classes are for students that know how to warp a loom by themselves and how to read a draft. No loom is required at class – you will weave on your own.

1st class is the introduction and explanation of the weave structure. A draft for a sampler will be provided. 2nd class you bring your sampler to class for questions and comments. Then you plan your final project which you bring to 3rd class. You must have access to a 4S loom. If you need a guild loom, make arrangements with the equipment chair, Janie Yates at [email protected].

The Summer & Winter structure weaves a reversible cloth with areas of pattern and background. Since it has no long floats, it can be used for towels, placemats, coverlets, and even for scarfs and fabric.

Barb Gallagher has been weaving since she stumbled upon a weaving studio in Los Angeles in the 70’s. She says she was so excited, it sent her back to school where she earned a BA in Art from Edgecliff College (now Xavier University) in Cincinnati, Ohio. She did her thesis on rug weaving, but since then she’s enjoyed weaving functional art such as towels, scarfs, shawls, and blankets. Barb has been teaching weaving for more years than she wants to admit. Barb is also the owner of Weavers Loft, a retail weaving supply shop as well as the home of her weaving studio.
