Class Description
Learn to master the art of hand weaving. Warp and weave a table runner to be taken home at the end of the class.
No previous experience is necessary, as Dahlia will guide you through the weaving, design, and finishing process.
We will weave with repurposed cotton fabric strips and luxury yarns on rigid heddle looms. Each student will be encouraged to see this way of weaving as a potential form of art and design, which will be foremost in determining a unique table runner.
Consider bringing your own fabrics to cut into strips and weave with. These can include a son’s flannel shirt, a husband’s neckties, patterned sheets that are no longer in service, etc. Dahlia will also have many cotton fabric strips to choose from.
