8-Week Workshop

Date: Tuesdays, March 18-May 6, 2025

Time: 6pm-9pm

Description: Expand your weaving skills!

In this series, students will have the opportunity to design and weave individualized projects on one of Contemporary Craft’s 4-harness looms. We will dive deeper into the specifics of planning a woven project, including reading—or adapting—a weaving pattern draft, selecting yarn, measuring and estimating material needs, and finishing techniques. In short, we will explore ways to think through the question “what will the cloth do?” before we begin working at the loom or even have yarn in hand.

This class series is ideal for those who have completed Weaving 1 at CC or who have had some experience with weaving. Not to worry! It is expected that Weaving 2 students will need assistance preparing and measuring yarn and dressing the loom!
