Learn to translate landscapes and nature imagery into art through the language of tapestry weaving. In this class, students will create their own 10-inch wide tapestry wall hanging from start (warping the loom) to finish (mounting their completed weaving on a dowel). After sampling to understand the foundations of the craft, students will weave a landscape scene based on their own design idea or a design provided by the instructor. We will explore techniques like tabby weave, color transitions, creating shapes, color blending, and adding detail. The materials fee includes a loom (15"x 20") and weaving tools that the students use in class and take home with them to continue their weaving journey.

This class is suitable for beginners as well as students with some weaving experience who would like to deepen their knowledge. This class requires hand mobility for holding and manipulating a small tapestry needle. Students should be comfortable sitting for extended periods of time.
