Class Description:

This class will teach students how to create a loom out of a piece of recycled cardboard and how to use that loom to weave a pouch in one continuous piece. This class is great for folks who have never tried weaving as well as those with some experience that are interested in alternative and reclaimed looms. Equipment can often be a barrier for folks that want to try weaving but don’t want to spend a lot of money to get started, so cardboard is a great place to start and even to stay! To register for this class, please email iana.d.dobreva@gmail.com class fee is collected the day of the class.

Class Length: 2 hours

Price: $25 - includes all materials, but you’re welcome to bring your own yarn if you like.
