Learn to weave your very own tapestry! This course will teach students the foundational skills of weaving on a frame loom as well as exploring the world of natural dyes. You will learn a number of weaving methods like sumac, twining, stripes, clasped weft, rya, tufting and making more complex shapes/designs. Students will also be taught the different types of fibers and their properties and how to dye them with things like marigolds, cochineal, madder, etc. This will be a relaxing experimentation of color and texture and how they can bring a tapestry to life!
