Floor Loom Studio Weaving

 

If you are considering joining us (yay!) please read the full description below in it’s entirety, whether you are a new or seasoned weaver (seasoned weavers, there’s a short little specific section for you if you scroll down toAs a seasoned weaver”). All are welcome, no weaving experience necessary!

________________________________________________

Students work alongside each other, but at their own pace and on their own loom, with guidance, encouragement and support to foster independence and confidence to bring their own creative ideas into form. 

*As a beginning weaver*, you will have a variety of options to begin your practice as the first 4 weeks is a Beginners Weaving experience and will familiarize you with the full weaving process from beginning to end, the floor loom and tools, reading a draft, basic weaving vocabulary, and weaving techniques.

All of this will create a foundation to support you in your unique weaving journey and cultivate sufficiency in the setup process of the looms and basic weaving techniques. Truly learning the process takes time and repetition and is why I offer floor loom weaving with an on-going option for those who find it calling them. I invite you to consider the commitment to the process and to allow it to be a practice that allows space for growth in yourself as a weaver, as well as your weaving practice.

Once you have learned the basics your experience can be as structured or freeform as you desire. You may choose to learn lots of different techniques by doing samplers and learning about various patterns and possibilities, pulling ideas + drafts from books, or you may bring your own ideas and inspiration in and you will have guidance to help bring them into form. Making art, functional pieces such as for home or clothing, and ritual pieces, are just a few of the endless possibilities. Don’t worry, I’ll be there to guide you! And so will our little weaving community!

*As a seasoned weaver*, this space is a great opportunity to have studio space outside of the home, to connect with and find support in a creative community, and to have access to a variety of weaving tools and looms, as well as guidance and support.

We primarily work on Glimakra Swedish floor looms and they’re WONDERFUL to work with. =)
