Join us for Basic Weaving II with Joan Namkoong
A follow up class to Basic Weaving I, students will practice measuring a warp and setting up a loom. You’ll learn simple project design concepts, how different setts produce different fabric weights, how to incorporate a second color in your warp and weft and using different thicknesses of weft. Students will choose one of three projects: potholders, fingertip towel or runner.
By the end of class, weavers will have their one-of-a-kind project to take home.
Prerequisite: Basic Weaving I
There will be an additional $20 supply fee payable to the instructor on first day of class which includes all weaving supplies.
What to bring:
- $20 supply fee
- Small scissors
