Ever been curious about Floor Loom Weaving? Now is your opportunity to try one!
In this 3-hour workshop, you will have the chance to try weaving in a small intimate setting. Held at Ibu Textiles Studio in The Forge, we will be working on a Wolf Pup loom that has already been set up. Each student will take turns weaving different patterns, walking away with a sampler of their own. We will discuss how a floor loom operates, reading patterns, and the intricacies of setting one up.
This workshop does not include setting up a floor loom, but will discuss how it is accomplished.
Intended for those interested in Floor Loom Weaving, this is a wonderful opportunity to explore the craft without dedicating time and money to doing it on your own.
**Class tuition includes all materials.
** Classes are non-transferable and non-refundable.
