Whether you are new to weaving or already have some experience at the loom, this beginner focused four-day workshop will introduce or reinforce the essential skills of loom weaving. Students will learn the fundamentals of project planning, warping a loom, threading, and weaving, while engaging in a meditative exploration of the senses.

Over the course of the workshop, we will awaken our awareness through color, texture, and pattern, and explore how our bodies respond to sensory experiences such as music, calming sounds, and gentle scents. This immersive and thoughtful approach encourages presence, creativity, and a deeper connection to the ancient practice of weaving. Outcomes will include a collection of handwoven samples and a deeper understanding of the weaving process from start to finish.

I believe that Craft is essential to our well being, but capitalism has other priorities. If you would like to incorporate this learning experience into your life but its full cost would challenge your expenses and prevent you from meeting your financial needs, please email me directly at melanie@wildearthtextiles.com to see if this opportunity has filled and to set up payment.
