Do you think you have an interest in weaving? This 2-day class is designed to help you discover the magic, fun, and endless possibilities of weaving. Students will be introduced to some of the basics of weaving, including basic weaving terminology, parts of the loom and how they work, and then progressing to winding a warp, dressing a loom, and reading a draft. The instructor will guide students through this process and you will complete a plain weave scarf either in plain cotton or a cotton blend. Fibers for this project will be selected the first day of class. Be prepared to pay for these materials with cash or a check made payable to The Weaversloft. Prices vary based on fiber selection.

Bring a lunch and beverages; a refrigerator and microwave are available for use.
