Want to build your own frame loom and learn the basics of weaving? Our Intro to Frame Weaving workshop will provide participants with instruction and materials to build and use their own frame loom. The loom itself will be 1ft x 3ft, size enough to make a substantial weaving. Participants may use yarn provided, but are also welcome to bring their own if they desire. Other can be woven into your creation, so we encourage participants to bring in anything of interest that may be conducive to weaving: sticks, ribbon, torn t-shirts, etc
