Practice your loom setup skills and techniques while you learn to vary your treadling thereby changing the pattern on your cloth!

This class is designed for those who would like to practice their skills setting up a multi-shaft loom.

Weavers will setup a 4-shaft table loom using one threading and produce two towels with distinctly different patterns. In this class you will learn how to calculate the warp needed for two dishtowels, wind a warp on the warping board, practice setting up a table loom and vary the design of your pattern as you weave. Students will design and weave 2 dishtowels to take home.

All materials and tools will be provided.
