Tapestry Weaving Basics
Tapestry Weaving Basics with Tommye Scanlin
Have you wondered if tapestry weaving would be for you? In this course you'll be introduced to the process: from selecting a loom and materials to several techniques for handwoven tapestry.
Spend two hours each Tuesday evening for three consecutive weeks to learn basics including how to set up a loom and prepare to weave. Next, explore several methods from which almost image can be created. And finally, design and weave a small tapestry.
Materials, including the supplies to build a simple loom and yarns for weaving, can be found at most hobby shops. A list of suggested supplies will be provided after registration.
The capacity for this class is 15 students. This class is presented in collaboration with the John C. Campbell Folk School. There will be an optional Orientation and Closing Ceremony hosted from the Folk School campus that students can attend online.
