4.6.24 Intro to Modern Tapestry with Bobbie Tilkens-Fisher

Saturday, April 6th - 1:00pm to 5:00pm 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 art!  In this class we will be making small wall hangings. Students will learn (or review) the basics: fiber + yarn types and attributes, assembling a loom, warping, stitches and knots, shapes, space and finishing techniques. Students of all levels are welcome. Cost is $180 and includes: 10" x 12" Beka Tapestry Loom  tapestry warping thread Weaving materials can be purchased before class or during class.  We're suggesting approximately 3 ounces of merino roving and one skein of Berwick Bulky yarn ($25 total). You may choose to upgrade your loom to a larger frame; however, we'll all be setting the looms up to the same weaving width. If you would like to upgrade to a larger loom, please contact Bobbie at bobbie@athomemodern.com.  20x24 inch looms are an additional $41 and 36x64 inch
