Tapestry 2.0, What's next?

This class is part of our Summer Series where we invite you to take a deep dive into a fiber technique. This class is designed for students who know how to warp a loom and understand some basic techniques of weaving tapestry: meet and separate, hatching, as well as weaving geometric and curved shapes. In this 3 day class we will review the above techniques as well as adding someone ones as you weave a small cartoon of your own design. Day 1 will be spent refining your image into weavable cartoon. Please bring any photos, sketches, or paintings you have and want to weave. You will warp your loom and start weaving once the cartoon is finalized. Day 2 & 3 you will weave your image. We will discuss finishing and ways to present your piece after cutting off on day 3.
