BARN member: $70 (three sessions)
Non-member: $100

Thursdays, July 16 & 23 from 6 pm to 9pm

Materials fee: $20 payable by check to BARN or cash at the first class. This will cover fabric needed for the projects.

Learn to weave on a simple frame loom using a technique developed by Caroline Cooley Browne that uses fabric for both the warp and the weft.

In this three-session class, you will learn the basics about this kind of weaving and get an understanding of the materials. You will also learn skills so you can create a variety of projects. In the class, you will make a small project first and then tackle a bigger one, using some advanced techniques. No prior weaving experience is required.

Looms will be provided to use during the class. Students also have the option of buying one at a discount. Students are also welcome to bring their own fabric after the first session, since it is important first to understand what types work well for this kind of weaving and which do not.
