Tapestry Frame Weaving

Learn to weave tapestry on a portable frame loom. Students will learn 2 different warping techniques for a sampler and a finished piece. This class teaches traditional tapestry techniques with an emphasis on experimental weaving. We will explore color hatching, joins, basic shape construction, eccentric weft, rya knots, and more! You will construct your own simple frame loom, which you can keep for future projects!
