Weaving Your Story: Using Alternative Materials for Weft
Sampler | Registration opens 11/4/2025 10:00 AM MDT
On sampler looms, we will explore techniques, substrates and construction methods for mixing traditional weaving materials with other descriptive objects. A bit of weaving background is a plus, but not completely necessary. Materials are included but your instructor will email you to suggest common, alternative materials to collect for the class.
