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.
