UPCOMING CLASSES


2023 SCHEDULE

April 27 - 29, 2023

Tucson, Arizona - Amphi Bible Hall on W. Prince Road

9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day

Beginning Four-Harness Weaving Workshop

Learn to create a warp and dress the loom from back to front with ease and confidence. Learning Joan’s “inch method” helps you catch your mistakes quickly. The first piece students will weave is a table runner sampler. We will explore many patterns using a single threading with 8/4 cotton.

The second piece will be a narrow piece using yarns of your choice. Students will learn how to read patterns as well as how to create their own design.

All the equipment will be provided for warping and weaving but students will learn what equipment is needed and get suggestions on where and how to purchase equipment and supplies.

Instructional fee: $199 for 3 days. Class limit: 4 students.

Material fee: $35
