An educational and unique summer arts activity, for ages 7 and up!
In this introductory workshop we will learn about looms and play with various weaving techniques. Weaving has a rich history throughout all cultures, and is something we often don't realize plays a huge part in our everyday lives!
Our first activity will explore the basic concepts of weaving, through weaving with paper strips. Then, moving onto weaving with yarn, we will use a simple cardboard loom to create our own woven sample. Lastly, there will be several table looms set up for everyone to try their hand at!
We endeavor to use easy to source materials in all our classes so participants can continue to practice the skills they've learned even after the class is done.
All class materials will be provided.
