Weaving for Beginners

Each session guides beginner students through the weaving process and loom setup through the creation of small samplers for students to explore a variety of basic fabric weaves and build skills to continue weaving on their own. Each level is approximately 10 hours in total and is delivered one-on-one within an agreed-upon timeframe and schedule. Lessons can also be provided in your home if you have a loom (or with the option to rent a table loom for an additional $20).
