Shelburne Craft School

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.
