WEAVING CLASS
Weaving on the Knitter’s Loom – for beginners with Jo Skinner
The Silk Weaving Studio and Sanjo Silk present a live, in-person weaving class! 3 evenings:
June 29, July 6, July 13
6:30 – 9:00pm each evening
This course will take you from being a non-weaver to being a weaver! It will introduce you to 2 types of weaving on a super portable Knitter’s Loom, a type of rigid heddle loom.
You’ll become knowledgeable about the loom, the materials, and the basic technique of weaving; how to put the warp on, and take the finished work off; how to introduce texture to your work.
You’ll learn what you need to know in order to proceed to weaving wearable pieces, table linens or tea towels. You’ll also learn techniques for creating a textural decorative piece. And you’ll know the differences in how to approach these 2 types of weaving.
You will have the use of the loom for a full 3 weeks – the 2 weeks spanning your 3 classes, and for an additional week after the last class, giving you time to make 1 or 2 finished projects.
Join the fun, be part of a real-live class, be inspired by the creativity of your classmates, and become a weaver!
The class will be held at the beautiful and inspiring Silk Weaving Studio
(in the Sandbar courtyard on Granville Island)
Maximum class size is 5 to allow for lots of personal attention.
$225, includes most of the materials you’ll need, and the at-home use of the loom for 3 weeks
