SHG member Colleen East will teach a two-day class for beginning weavers. No prior weaving experience required. Class will be limited to eight students.
This workshop is designed to teach brand new weavers how to set up a loom and weave basic plain weave and twills. Students will learn how a harness loom works and how to read weaving drafts and patterns. A four-harness loom is required for this class. (No rigid heddle or “knitter’s looms” please.) If you do not have a loom to bring to class, the Guild has several for rent.
Registration for this class is now closed.
