For Ages 16+

In this full-day workshop, participants will learn how to thread and weave on a basic frame loom to create a color-and-weave cloth. This technique uses contrasting colors to produce dynamic pattern effects through simple weave structures. Additional techniques will include using a pick-up stick, a string heddle, and the option of twining. 

During the workshop, each participant will complete one woven piece (14" x 16"). The finished cloth can be used as a placemat or as one side of a tote bag. If making a tote, a second matching panel can be woven after the workshop.

Materials provided by Heather: Frame loom 15" x 18", beater, tapestry comb, 2 shuttles, 16"dowel rod, use of a pick up stick, and printed weaving drafts. 

Materials required of students:

Students should purchase two tubes of 100% cotton yarn (16/8). Please select two colors with strong contrast (for example: black and white, or light pink and hunter green) to achieve a clear pattern definition.

A link to the required yarn is provided below.
