Description

This class will provide a foundation for tapestry weaving on a tapestry loom or basic frame loom. We will make a sampler utilizing traditional tapestry techniques, how to use a cartoon and finishing. As time allows, eccentric weaving, twining and collage will be covered.

Prerequisites:

None

Materials to be provided by/additional instructions for students:

Please bring a tapestry or frame loom if you have one. Mary will provide instructions to participants so they can make their own frame loom from stitcher bars. They are very easy to build and inexpensive.
Please bring a lunch or snack if you would like. Access to a refrigerator and microwave are available in the building.

The guild has a limited amount of tapestry looms. Non-members who borrow a guild loom must provide a refundable deposit of $50 cash or check payable to Triangle Weavers Guild. The deposit is due at the class time and is refunded when the loom is returned. Please indicate on the registration form if you would like to borrow one.

Materials to be provided by Triangle Weavers Guild:

The guild has a variety of weft yarns available for use in the class.
