Join artist Toni Ross for an introductory class on the practice and technique of weaving with a small hand-held loom! During this three-hour session, participants will learn the basics of weaving, including how to make and warp a loom, tabby weaving, rya knots, interlocking and non-interlocking techniques, how to finish and remove a work, tuck in loose threads, and more! Throughout the day, Toni will discuss her preferred tools and materials while providing an exclusive look into the practice and technique behind her own projects. A variety of reference books will also be made available.
All necessary materials and equipment are included in the cost of admission and can be taken home following the workshop. Participants are encouraged to bring materials from home that can be incorporated into the weavings. Such materials include yarn, twine, raffia, ribbon, and shredded fabrics.
