Weaving Lessons:

I am offering weaving lessons for students in the Boise, Idaho, area.  Lessons can be held at my studio with my loom if you don't have a loom yet.  This is the perfect way to try weaving and see if you like it before investing in a loom.  If you have a loom, I would be glad to come to your home and help you learn on your equipment.

Classes can be individual lessons or for small groups.  So grab a friend and learn a new craft together.  Contact me to schedule your weaving lesson.

Beginning Weaving

Beginning Weaving class will cover the basics a new weaver needs to get started. Information covered includes weaving equipment, warping a loom, how to read a weaving pattern, fixing errors, and more.

During class students will wind a warp, dress a loom, and weave a sample of basic weave structures.  This takes 10-12 hours of instruction time.  The time can be broken down into 2 to 4 hour sessions.

Recommended book for students to purchase before starting class:
     "Learning to Weave", by Deborah Chandler

$150 per student for individual lessons - $125 per student for 2-4 students

 

More Weaving Classes:

For weavers who know how to warp their loom, but are in need of a bit of extra instruction in some areas, the following classes are available.  Each class will last about 2 hours.  They are more of a lecture/class room type setting with some hands on work.

If you don't see what you are looking for listed below, let me know and I will see if I can come up with a class to fit your specific needs.
