June 2nd to 16th, 2025
Instructor: Grace McFetters
Dates: 6/2; 6/9; 6/16
Time: Mondays 6 pm - 8 pm
Location: Online via Zoom
Military-connected women, join us for this class to learn how to weave a landscape tapestry using a circle loom! These looms are a one-time use because they make a beautiful frame for your tapestry. This workshop will teach you to warp a circle loom using a non-circular set-up to weave an image of a landscape featuring a waterfall that will fall from the frame. Students will learn to design “outside the frame" along with how to warp a simple tapestry frame loom then weave using a variety of stitches and yarns to create texture and visual interest. Once your masterpiece is finished, the tapestry will be ready to hang on the wall for all to admire your mastery of weaving! All materials will be provided.
