F70522 Tapestry Design and Weaving, Wednesday, 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Traudi Bestler

Weaving tapestry is a little like playing with crayons on a sheet of paper, except we use colorful yarns to make designs. Students will learn to set up a simple frame loom, then weave a small tapestry using materials provided by the instructor. We'll use nature and imagination for inspiration. No weaving experience needed! You'll leave class with an original 8" by 10" tapestry and the knowledge to create many more small art works. The loom goes home with you, ready to make more designs. Price includes $30 materials fee.

G727W23 Saori Weaving Workshop, Friday, August 4, 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
MULTIGENERATIONAL WORKSHOP

Instructor: Chiaki O'Brien
Skill level: ALL

Founded in Japan in 1968, Saori weaving is contemporary, free-style weaving without restrictions about what or how to weave. It emphasizes exploration, group learning, and self-expression, recognizing the difference between machines and people. In the process of creating, the maker identifies their true self. You will be guided in the basic steps to get you started, but the final form of your project will be a collaboration between you and your weaving. Your Saori loom will be prepared for you in advance, so you can begin weaving right away. All materials are provided, but if you have materials you'd like to incorporate into your project (yarn, strips of fabric, etc.) feel free to bring them. Price includes $20 materials fee. Students ages 8 and up may register with a registered adult.

Enrollment limited to 12; ages 14 and up
Single class scheduled on 8/4/2023 at 9:30AM
 
Attendees: 1 $ 63.00 ea.
