In our 4-day Beginning Weaving Class, students learn how to design and weave a rug or blanket with a plain colored warp on a treadle loom. The course includes instruction in loom setup, planning and designing your weaving, learning weaving techniques on a Rio Grande Style floor loom, and mending and finishing your piece.

In addition to instructor-led, hands-on learning, each student will also receive a classroom workbook with historical background, weaving terminology, and practical instructions to be used as a guide during the class and beyond.

• All weaving equipment and instruction are included in the class price. Warp threads will be supplied on the looms. However, weft materials – the colored yarns you will be using to create your design – will need to be purchased on-site, with two different weights to choose from: rug (heavier weight) or blanket (lighter weight).

• To get an idea of what yarn colors will be available for your design, you can view our yarn lines and sample cards in our online store. In addition to our online options, we also carry unique, one-of-a-kind colors in-store. You will have a chance to browse our entire selection in-store before you begin weaving.

• In the event of a cancellation by the student, a fee of the amount of $100 will be charged–no cash refunds. Class dates may be transferable in the event of an emergency, these changes have a fee in the amount of $50. Prices are subject to change, as well as state and local taxes.
