Workshop Description:
The group will be invited to engage intentionally with the craft and materials. We will start with recalling our relationship with textiles as we ground ourselves in the brilliance of natural fibers & yarn. Participants will work with the materials such as colored and carded wool to practice weaving, learning basic components of a loom, weaving terminology, and effects of beating. Everyone takes home a one-of-a-kind woven creation that reflects both ecological entanglement and community supported learning.
The cost of wool and other materials is included in the price of the class!
