Weave your joy! Maybe you’ve done a little weaving in the freestyle world, and you find it speaks to your heart. Now you’re ready to learn some new techniques to add to your freespirited toolbox as you continue down your weaving path. Invite this class into your life! Students will learn various ways to add creativity and personal expression to warp and weft as they weave the fabric of their heart on a highly approachable and easy-to-use two-harness floor loom. Supplemental warps, interlaid and interlocked shapes, rya knots, loops and worms, and more creative choices await!

No participant-provided materials required: instructor will provide all tools and materials. If students want to bring something personally meaningful to them to incorporate into their weaving if possible, they're welcome--indeed, encouraged--to do so. Otherwise, students just need to bring their willingness to experiment and explore--and to practice imperfection!

Class open to students 8 years old and up. Students must be tall enough to reach the floor pedals on the looms and able to sit on a slightly padded keyboard bench and focus for the duration of the class (don’t worry, the instructor will require regular stand-up breaks!).

Skill Prerequisite: No special skills required. A little prior experience with weaving on some sort of loom is encouraged. However, students who have never woven before but need this class in their lives nonetheless should find the learning curve easy to climb.

Ages: 8+

Supplies: Included in Class Cost: Yarn.
