Introducing: Weaving Fundamentals for Beginners

Have you always wanted to learn the basics of weaving? Now is your chance.

In this class you will learn how to warp a loom, weave using a pattern, how to use basic weaving equipment, and ultimately feel comfortable about the language and craft of weaving. This class is designed for beginners who want to learn and become comfortable with weaving basics.

Students will learn on a 4-harness table loom, and will produce samplers which utilize basic weaving patterns and techniques.

Learn the basics of crocheting with wire. Wire is a fun departure for those used to working with yarn. It comes in a variety of sizes and colors. Wire sizing is described in numerical gauge, with higher numbers for thinner wire and lower numbers for thicker wire. Typically, wire sized at 28 gauge and above is used for knit and crochet.

We will make a basic shape that can be morphed into a variety of projects. Once the basics are learned we'll explore what contemporary artists have created with wire including beading.

Wire has memory and stiffness that yarn doesn’t have. This makes it harder on your hands and harder on your tools. Don't use your prize tools for these projects: use steel or aluminum tools since wood, bamboo and plastic will scratch.
