About this Event

8-Week Workshop

Date: Thursdays, June 12-July 31, 2025

Time: 6pm-9pm

Description: Expand your weaving skills!

In this series, students will have the opportunity to design and weave individualized projects on one of Contemporary Craft’s 4-harness looms. We will dive deeper into the specifics of planning a woven project, including reading—or adapting—a weaving pattern draft, selecting yarn, measuring and estimating material needs, and finishing techniques. In short, we will explore ways to think through the question “what will the cloth do?” before we begin working at the loom or even have yarn in hand.

This class series is ideal for those who have completed Weaving 1 at CC or who have had some experience with weaving. Not to worry! It is expected that Weaving 2 students will need assistance preparing and measuring yarn and dressing the loom!

Tuition: $265 + materials fee

Materials: Materials can be purchased directly from the instructor based on your specific project

Location: Contemporary Craft (5645 Butler St., Pittsburgh, PA 15201)

About the Artist

Jamie Boyle is an artist and weaving teacher who recently moved back to Pittsburgh after living for more than a decade in a studio apartment in Brooklyn, NY with a partner and two cats. She attended public school from grade school through graduate school. Her first weaving teacher was the artist Ann Hamilton, in whose studio Jamie worked for several years after completing her MFA in sculpture. Subsequently, Owyn Marisol Ruck, Kira Silver, Isa Rodrigues, Kelly Valetta, and Jose Picayo taught Jamie who to use a multi-harness floor loom as a tool for weaving. She has had the great honor of sharing her love of weaving with communities of learners at the Park slope Center for Successful Aging, the National Council of Jewish Women NY Lifetime Learning Center, the Museum of Arts and Design, and the Textile Arts Center, among others. Jamie has participated in artist residencies at the Textile Arts Center (Brooklyn, NY); the Museum of Arts and Design (New York, NY); and through the SU-CASA program administered by the Brooklyn Arts Council. Currently, she is an artist-in-residence in the fibers studio at Contemporary Craft.
