Designing and Weaving a Tapestry with Susan Snider
$525
In this workshop we will transform an image, idea, or inspiration into a "weaverly" tapestry. You will learn how to develop a cartoon, what decisions need to be made prior warping the loom, which tapestry techniques will give the effect required and weave the design. This is not a beginner class. Students will need to have their own loom, be able to warp the loom, and have a supply of yarn for weaving. Three sessions, two weeks apart to give ample time to weave between classes.
Susan will be available between classes to answer questions and give feedback, bringing the total to six weeks of instruction.
