Weaving Classes

 

 

Weave a Scarf: An introduction to the art of weaving, this class
will offer an opportunity to help warp a loom, and then give each student
time to finish a scarf in a basic weave and yarn of his/her own choosing.
We will cover the basics of figuring yardage, reading a draft, and fixing
normal mistakes, as well as basic weave structures. Cost is $40.00 plus
weft materials. Taught by Tim Ackerman and Nancy de Caprariis.
Class is 1 full day (bring your lunch) plus weaving time of your choosing during our open hours.

Warping and Weaving on the Rigid Heddle Loom: This will be a hands-on workshop to get you weaving on your rigid heddle loom! We will cover the basics of warping, warp the looms and get you started on a project. Students must bring, or purchase their own looms. We now have several models of rigid heddle looms, including the very portable Ashford Knitter's loom, and the Schacht "Flip" that is full size but folds up. We will choose appropriate yarn(s) on class day or prior to class. Space is limited - please sign up early and plan on a fun afternoon. The cost is $35.00. Taught by Tim Ackerman.

Other Weaving Classes: We can help you with other specific weaving projects if you have something in mind that you feel you want help with. Also, between weaving classes, we sometimes have an empty loom available for those who need a spot to weave. Just check in with us to schedule a time when we have a loom available.
