Have you been curious about Tapestry Weaving but weren't sure about registering for a multi-week class? Or, are you looking for a great way to dive into a new art form and immerse yourself in learning? This tapestry weaving weekend workshop is for you!

Tapestry weaving dates back thousands of years and is a woven art form that conjures many images in peoples’ minds. It is a medium that allows the weaver to create shape, design, texture and symbol using yarn. In this course, students will learn fundamental skills required for taking their tapestry weaving ideas to the next level.

We will use a simple frame loom that students will learn to warp themselves. Students will create samplers that will include most if not all of the following elements: horizontal and vertical lines, spots, and shapes like squares, rectangles and triangles, outlining, and some finishing techniques.

Come join us for this immersive introductory experience with tapestry weaver, Susan Snider. 

Learn how to wet felt over a resist to create a unique wool vessel. Participants will learn all of the steps required to make a sculptural piece of art using wool, water, soap, a plastic resist, and a bit of elbow grease.

Materials: Included

Please Bring: Students are asked to bring a large bath or beach towel that will be used in the wet felting process. 

This workshop is an introduction to Punch Needle Rug Hooking using the Oxford Punch Needle and the colorful, variegated, and tonal Violet Jane Rug Yarn.

Enjoy playing with colors while punching your own unique project.  Students will learn punching techniques for both thick and thin yarn, plus multiple methods for finishing projects. Come join us for a day of making!
