In keeping with the theme “Be-longing”, this weaving course will offer students of all skill levels the opportunity to learn to weave or expand their skills using floor looms. Instructors Nancy and Suzanne have more than a century of weaving and teaching experience between them. Nancy and Suzanne’s Longing to pass their legacy onto a new generation of weavers will make this a wholly unique experience. The instructors will provide two projects to choose from their catalog of weave structures. The focus will be on weaving cloth using techniques that will match the skill level and interests of the participants. Students can choose colors from the vast library of yarn available at the Guild. Beginners Welcome.
