  For ages 8 and up! A perfect arts activity for your summer! 

  In this introductory workshop we will learn about looms and play with weaving techniques. Weaving has a rich history throughout all cultures, and is something we often don't realize plays a huge part in everyday life!

  We will create a small woven pouch on a card loom. The loom is made of easy to source materials. There will be a type of loom

   called an Inkle loom set up and ready to weave a band on. And lastly we will have table looms set up for everyone to try their hand at.

  The class is $25 per registrant, all materials are included. The class is 3 hours long and instructed by Weavers' and Spinners' guild member Julia Szabo, with Artisans Centre member Lois Watson assisting.

  All instructors and assistants have completed an up to date Vulnerable Sectors Check.
