Get started weaving on the inkle loom, a simple and easy-to-use tabletop loom that can be built by anyone keen to try their hand. Inkle looms are used to weave sturdy and decorative bands in a variety of sizes that can be used in many ways. Under the careful guidance of woodworking instructor Randy Schnobrich, students will learn to use a variety of power tools and hand tools to build an inkle loom from birch: no prior woodworking experience required. Building a loom from scratch will enhance students understanding of the mechanics of the weaving process and increase their ability to use the inkle loom for creative expression. Note, this course will not include weaving instruction: register for Inkle Loom Weaving on the following day for this instruction.
