This class will explore the wonders of weaving on a multi-harness floor loom. These looms allow a weaver to create a complex patterned fabric. Students will learn how to set up a loom and explore a range of yarns and fibers. We will discuss how to use color and texture in textile design. Each student will weave a series of samples and complete a larger piece of their own design.
