Woven Rug Workshop
Join us for a 6.5hr RUG WEAVING workshop this January with the ever so talented artist/educator Jessie Young!
You will learn the basics of large-scale frame loom weaving, creating a 30" x 16" decorative rug to display in your home. Jessie will walk your through each step of the textile making process, from warping the loom, to planning and drafting a design, to learning a variety of tapestry techniques. You will also learn rug finishing methods for completing your piece once it is removed from the loom. Each student will leave class not only with a functional art-object but with a solid understanding of the medium to continue your practice independently.
In addition to a demonstration, a slide presentation will be conducted, sharing a variety of resources for sourcing unique materials, offering inspiration and additional technical understanding. All materials will be provided, and a PDF with a list of resources will be sent to you after class.
This class is beginner friendly! All materials + warm beverages are included. We will have 30min allotted for lunch, please plan to bring something or order to the studio, there likely won't be time to run out!
If you are looking to spend a screen-free day in the meditative world of weaving, learning a new textile skill with new friends, this is for you <3
