workshop with Jennifer Lackey

Loom Weaving • Beginning Explore the skills you need to know for weaving beautiful projects on a loom. No prior experience is required! Focusing on multi-harness weaving, learn how a loom works, become familiar with its parts and troubleshoot problems. The workshop will cover preparing yarn for the loom, warping and reading patterns. Work together to produce sampler dish towels, then design your own project, creating the warp and dressing the loom to weave a dish towel or scarf. Ages 16 & up. Materials cost TBD.
