Description

This class is perfect for the student with little or no prior weaving experience. We will weave a set of small cotton mats that can be used as mug mats or saved as samples in a notebook for future reference. You will learn to plan your project, decipher a threading draft, measure and wind a warp, dress the loom from back to front, and weave a set of from 4 to 6 mats, each with a different treadling pattern of your choosing.

For the student who completes the first project quickly and is able to spend some independent time weaving during the TFAC drop in hours on Tuesday and Saturday afternoons, there may be an opportunity to put on a second warp with a different threading for a wall hanging sampler or more mats. This would be a great way to reinforce what you learned during the first half of the class.

The guild will provide 4-shaft floor looms with 5/2 cotton yarns.

Prerequisites No weaving experience required

Materials to be provided by/additional instructions for students
