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 coaster. 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’d like
