CARD WEAVING
Date: July 9
Time: 2:00 - 5:00
Fee: 45.00
NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED!
DESCRIPTION: Imagine learning an off loom weaving technique for narrow strong bands that dates back to the Iron age around 1000 BC. If you want to experience first hand what these ancient people made you will love this class. It is amazingly simple or incredibly complicated. We will explore the drafting and weaving processes and get a sample started.
MATERIALS: Yarn that does not stretch in several high (at least 2) contrast colors. A monochromatic color scheme (like light and dark shades of one color) will not have high contrast. A more bulky yarn like Worstd weight will be easier to start with.
