Tapestry Weaving on a Frame Loom, July 14, 10-5pm, Catskill, NY

Instructor: Margot Becker

Tapestry Weaving on a Frame Loom will cover the basics of weft-faced tapestry techniques as well as setting up and weaving on a Schacht tabletop frame loom.  The frame loom is a simple, portable tool which can be used to make wall hangings or small textile squares to be pieced together into a larger project. This is the perfect class for the very beginner weaver.  During the first part of the class, participants will learn how to warp their loom and be introduced to plain weave as well as a variety of weaving techniques, such as clasped weft, slit weave and hatching. After a lunch break, the focus will be on weaving a larger project and more one-on-one feedback based on individual direction.  The day will conclude with learning a hem stitch to finish off the weaving and studio clean-up.  All materials and equipment are included, but feel free to bring any additional weft material that you would like to experiment with.

Cancellation Policy

Please consider carefully before signing up for one of our classes, loom rentals, or purchasing a class for another person.  Due to the small class size for in-person workshops and the limited number of looms, each person makes an important contribution to the group dynamic and cancelling within short notice can make it difficult to fill your spot.  If you do need to cancel, please be aware of our policies:

If the cancellation is 30 or more days before the start of the workshop, you have the option of rescheduling or receiving a full refund minus a $25 processing fee.  If the cancellation is fewer than 30 days from the start of the workshop, this results in forfeiture of your entire course fee.  If your spot can be from the waitlist, then you will only pay the $25 processing fee, regardless of timing.

No refunds will be given on gift certificates.  (Updated 05/05/2024)
