You have taken a beginners weaving class and you have threaded a loom and woven a simple pattern. Now you want to make beautiful cloth with your new skills. How do you plan the threading pattern? Tie-up, treadling, what are they? What loom is best for me? These and many other questions will be addressed in a project oriented workshop in our Studio. You will be guided by an experienced weaver who will help you weave a project on a floor loom.
