Please disregard the start date. Call today to reserve your loom! Classes are on-going and start anytime.
Learn how to weave on a four or 8 harness loom. Nancy McRay has been teaching weaving for more than 15 years in the East Lansing area. Beginners start with a sample designed to teach how to warp (set up) a loom, several weave structures, and the interaction of color and weave patterning. More experienced weavers can choose their own projects and techniques to study. Class meets on Wednesdays from 11:30 to 1:30, or on Thursdays from 6 to 8 p.m. Class meets for six weeks, but students may start at anytime. Nancy will work with each student individually.
$90 includes use of loom for 6 weeks.

Please disregard the start date. Classes are on-going, you can start anytime. Tapestry is a plain weave, weft faced fabric, using discontinuous weft to create image or pattern. It is also a fun and satisfying way to make beautiful wallhangings, pillows, or even hand bags. Nancy has one or two hanging in her office, and sometimes in the gallery. Equipment includes a simple frame loom you make yourself, and appropriate wool for tapestry - Tekapo wool works very well. Tapestry weaving meets on Wednesday mornings or Thursday afternoons, at the same time as the loom weaving class. Each session is 6 weeks long, but students can begin their session at any time.
