Weaving Classes (harness looms):
Linda George is offering two types of weaving classes using floor looms: Project-in-a-Day (ages 14-adult)
and Beginning Weaving Lessons (ages 16-adult).
• Project-in-a-Day: the loom will be warped and ready to weave. You choose a scarf, small table
runner or kitchen towel and have a complete project at the end of the day (about 4 hours) – $60.
• Beginning Weaving Lessons: Learn to weave on a small floor loom. This class will cover the
basics of weaving: calculating the amount of yarn needed for a project, warping (or threading the
loom), weaving the project, and finishing techniques. You will weave two projects – a scarf in wool
and a small table runner or kitchen towel in cotton. Loom rental and materials are included.
Individual or small group instruction. Approximately 5 – five hour sessions – $225.
