About

To start the week, you'll weave plain weave and twill weave structures on pre-warped looms. Then you'll design your own cotton cloth, and control the process from start to finish: winding a warp, dressing your loom, and weaving your project.

This comprehensive introductory class will give you the basic skills you need to weave complex patterns in the future! 

Details

  • Designed for ages 14-18.
  • Bring a water and a snack
  • Registration closes Monday, July 6.

Details

A $20 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, covers everything you'll need.

Class Policies

Ages 14-18 are welcome.

Instructor
Alison Waller

Originally from Yorkshire, UK, Alison lived in China for several years before moving to Puget Sound in 2019 with her husband and two young children. She has enjoyed knitting, crochet, and working with beads since childhood, but it wasn't until moving to Washington that she tried weaving. In the last four years, she's become obsessed both with making baskets and making fiber on a floor loom or rigid heddle loom. She has taken classes with many local and nationally recognized weavers at BARN, developing her skills as a weaver and a teacher. She’s now delighted to serve as the weaving coordinator in the Fiber Arts Studio, where she also teaches rigid heddle and floor loom classes.
