This workshop is a mini textile retreat. With Nicole's background in yoga, weaving is a true lesson in meditation and creation. During this 2-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 the yarn, finishing techniques (how to complete your weaving after it’s taken off the loom). You will learn everything you need to finish your weaving and many more! But this is the awesome part! The cost of this class includes the cost of loom. The loom is made is beautiful Boulder, CO at the Schacht Spindle Company. The easel weaver looms are 6” wide (larger or smaller options avaiable for sale too), and great for relaxing at home or away on a vacation. W&W will supply your weaving materials for this class. W&W does also offer the yarns for sale for future projects. Just ask! This class will include all supplies needed for a finished project.
