Coaster Weaving

Get ready to dive into the world of weaving and create your own cool fabric pieces from scratch! In this class you will learn how to create a woven coaster start to finish. At the end of the class you will be able to take your completed coaster to use in your home. In addition, you will be able to keep your loom and weaving tools to continue weaving on your own. We begin by learning how to warp a loom. We will then move on to mastering woven stitches and weaving techniques. I will do demonstrations for the class and then allow you to work on your piece independently while I observe and answer questions. After you have finished your piece we will learn how to tie off loose ends and take the piece off of the loom. Once complete you will be able to take your piece home! This is an introductory level course. This class is intended for participants with little to no weaving or DIY experience.
