next slide

Course Overview

Brightly colored rag rugs can spruce up any space, and are a testament to the resourcefulness and sustainability of traditional crafts. They are also satisfying first projects for aspiring weavers! Learn to weave on a floor loom and craft a useful project. From reading a draft to winding warp to threading a loom, this class will cover all the basics, explore design and color planning, and teach several different finishing techniques. As time allows, students will be able to weave a second project. Information will be provided so that students can bring their own rags if they’d like, or use the materials provided by the instructor.

Session Information
