Learn warp-faced weaving while creating functional straps for guitar or crossbody bags, or a tote bag. In this hands-on class, students will use 4- or 8-harness looms to explore color and pattern in tightly woven, inkle-style band work.
Beginners will be guided through warping, weaving basics, and finishing techniques. Experienced weavers can experiment with designing their own pattern. You’ll leave with finished yardage for straps and the knowledge to continue weaving on your own. Looms provided.
