Weave on a Frame Loom
Schedule a class time.
This workshop is a mini textile retreat. With Nicole's background in yoga, weaving is a true lesson in meditation and creation. During this 3-hr weaving workshop students will learn the basics of weaving on a hand-held frame loom. Weaving is slow, mindful, and repetitive. This process can be relaxing for the mind, body, and spirit.
Along with the weaving techniques, you will also learn about different yarns, finishing techniques (how to complete your weaving after it’s taken off the loom). Some of you will walk away with a finished weaving, but this is not necessary as all students will be able to keep their looms, and weaving supplies for future projects. The loom is made is beautiful Boulder, CO at the Schacht Spindle Company. The easel weaver looms are 6” wide and great relaxing at home or away on a vacation.
This class will include all supplies needed.
