Tapestry weaving is not a new craft form by any means, but the endless variations one can employ while weaving can lead to exciting, modern takes on this traditional craft! 

In this workshop, students will create woven wall hangings and learn (or review) the basics: fibers, assembling a loom, warping, stitches and knots, shapes and finishing techniques. Students of all levels are welcome.

Tuition includes:

  • 4 hours of instruction
  • A 10 inch tapestry loom
  • Warp string
  • Fibers

Cost: $130: $120 for Farnsworth members
