Slow down and learn the timeless craft of weaving in this beginner-friendly, hands-on class. We’ll start with the very basics, building a foundation you can return to again and again. Learn the basics of weaving techniques and stitches, and complete a simple weaving that can be used as a coaster, a patch, a bookmark, a potholder, placemat and more. This class is entry level, with hands-on guidance, suggestions for trouble shooting, and an opportunity to have all your weaving questions answered. Materials to use and class & take home provided.
Learn how to warp your loom, use small and large needles, thin and thick yarns, and how to finish off a completed weaving. Infinitely reusable bamboo looms, needles, combs, embroidery thread and unique hand-spun and thrifted yarns are provided for class use and to take home, and you’re welcome to bring your own materials as well. Once the class has hit their stride, herbal tea from the Dear Tomorrow gardens and organic herbs will be served.
Out-of-practice weavers and intermediates are welcome. Refresh your skills, and build to your next level. A space to learn, ask questions, receive help, and brainstorm ideas to embroider the design of your dreams.
