Continuing Your Freestyle Weaving Journey
About Continuing Your Freestyle Weaving Journey
Weave your joy! So you’ve done a little weaving in the freestyle world or elsewhere and find this art form speaks to your heart. Now you’re ready to learn some new techniques to add to your toolbox as you continue down your weaving path. Invite this class into your life!
What will students learn:
Students will learn various ways to add creativity and personal expression to their weaving as they create the fabric of their heart on a highly approachable and easy-to-use two-harness SAORI floor loom. Traveling interlay, interlocked shapes, rya knots, loops and worms, and more creative choices await!
Materials, Equipment, and Supplies the Student Must Bring to Class
Instructor will provide all necessary tools and materials. If students want to bring something personally meaningful to them to incorporate into their weaving if possible, they're welcome–indeed, encouraged–to do so. Some past examples: specialty paper, pieces of jewelry (this is a fun use for unmatched earrings and stray pendants), locks/fleece (washed and dried), handspun yarn (handspun of all sorts weaves up wonderfully), dyed or undyed fiber, leftover quantities of treasured yarn too small to knit or crochet into a finished item. Otherwise, students just need to bring their willingness to experiment and explore--and to practice imperfection!
Materials Kit and Kit Description
Your class registration fee includes a materials kit with a value of $65 which includes:
Use of warped two-harness floor loom and associated tools (shuttles, bobbins, etc.); use of a wide variety of different weaving materials (yarn, embroidery floss, fabric scraps, fiber, trim, Mylar, etc.); all cloth woven in class. Each student will also get a bag of fibery treasures to keep; these can be used in class, in a future weaving, or both. And of course, students will take home whatever they weave!
