Try your hand at the ancient art of tapestry weaving. In this workshop you’ll learn how to warp (wind yarn on) our small tapestry looms, understand weaving-specific vocabulary, practice basic stitching techniques, and create a bookmark to showcase what you have learned.

You will go home with your own small tapestry loom, needle, and enough yarn to make a second bookmark on your own.

7:30-9:30pm. Address will be emailed out before the workshop.

This workshop begins with a pile of yarn, a long bit of cordage, and a belief that it will become a basket. Using ancient coiling and stitching techniques, we’ll wrap, shape, and persuade yarn into a small, functional form perfect for holding all the things.

You’ll leave with a very nearly finished basket, plus the know-how to keep coiling long after the workshop ends. Tea, snacks, and good conversation round out the evening.

3:30-6:30pm. Address will be sent out via email the week of the class.

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll use leaves, flowers, bark - and through heat and “fixers,” transfer the plant's pigment onto fabric. The results are unpredictable - it’s such a fun AH-HA moment when you unfurl your fabric bundle. Join me to transform plain cotton handkerchiefs into something naturally glowing and unique.

Everyone will go home with newly colorful fabric pieces and introductory knowledge of the deep and wonderful world of botanical dyeing.
