Has the idea of weaving pictures always interested you? This beginning tapestry weaving class would be perfect to get you started. Students will learn the basic tapestry joins and different ways to shade and blend yarns using adjustable tension frame looms, either your own or one furnished by the instructor. Several warping styles will be demonstrated and used. Discussions will include making a cartoon or plan for a tapestry, and how to transfer the design to the warp threads. Finishing techniques, lining the weaving and ways to mount it will be demonstrated. No prior weaving experience is needed. Class fee includes use of an adjustable frame loom and all warp and weft yarns needed for the samples. For an additional fee, frame looms may be purchased. Suitable for beginning and returning students.
