Fiber Arts | Nevada Tribble | All Levels | All-Day Class | Week 5 (August 3-7. 2026)
In this beginner-friendly class, students will learn how to make their own unique tapestries with a frame loom. Students will begin by creating a miniature tapestry project to learn the essentials of weaving, and practice skills like warping, changing colors, hiding ends, and finishing techniques. After that initial project, we will dive in deeper. Students will use larger tabletop frame looms to explore a variety of textural techniques and different stitches, and learn how to design both geometric and organic shapes. Students will be encouraged to explore their own artistic style and learn how to combine techniques, colors, and shapes in a way that supports their creative vision. Over the course of the four day class, students will create at least one miniature tapestry and two larger ones (& more if time allows). Students will leave with the skills to continue weaving at home, and the confidence to create beautiful tapestries with this fun and relaxing creative outlet.
Supply Fee: $60
The supply fee includes a 16×24” tabletop frame loom for students to keep. A selection of yarns will be provided for classroom use, but feel free to bring some favorites from your own yarn stash as well!
