Easy Weaving on a Cardboard Loom

Course Overview

Weaving …the principles are basic no matter what type of weaving you do, but the equipment can be a bit daunting for a curious beginner. Treadles? Harnesses? Shafts? The truth is, you don't need a fancy loom to make quality objects. Working with instructor Traudi Bestler, you can use a simple cardboard loom to learn to make two styles of bags: with a flap and without. Students will be able to finish two or three bags during the day, and learn basic principles that can be applied to other, more complex styles of weaving. All materials will be provided by the instructor, but students are welcome to bring yarns they wish to use.
