Build Your Own Loom & Learn to Weave Tapestry
Adult Class | Registration opens 2/3/2026 10:00 AM MST
We will build looms together using basic woodwork tools and then warp them and weave on them. Instruction will be sequential and build on the previous week's understandings. Tapestry is a kind of weaving where weavers can make stripes, shapes and images. The warp strings do not show when the tapestry is done. Weavers may bring their own their lap size looms if they prefer, and the instructor may be able to adjust the cost of the class to account for the student not building a loom with ASLD lumber.
- *No class held on March 14.
- All supplies will be provided
