Introduction to Fabric Weaving

Class Description: $25 / person (plus cost of Weave Easy Tool)

Discover the art of fabric weaving in this delightful introductory workshop! Beginning with scrap fabric to craft charming hot pads, students will ease into the weaving process with projects that are both approachable and rewarding. The interplay of fabric widths and colors ensures each creation feels uniquely personal—an expressive first step into the world of textile design.

Throughout the session, we’ll explore foundational techniques such as classic over-under weaving, securing clean edges, and designing with texture and color. Small class sizes will enable some 1-on-1 attention throughout the day.
