Tapestry
Introduction to Tapestry
Discover the creativity and beauty of tapestry weaving. Students will experience the different yarns used, the importance of even tension, and the basic techniques to create shapes and line. The focus of this class is on weaving with a treadled (with floor pedals) tapestry loom freeing up your hands for weaving. The looms will be warped and ready to weave at the start of class. There will be a discussion on the history, as well as contemporary examples of tapestry today. Students will also learn how to warp the treadled loom and a simple frame loom to fully understand the process of tapestry weaving.
