Basic Loom Weaving
April 25 & May 2, 9:00 am - 3:00pm
A basic class for people who want to learn how to set up a loom and weave cloth.
On the first day, you will set up a 4 shaft table loom: measuring a warp and beaming it on the loom, threading the heddles, sleying the reed and tying on to the front beam. You'll weave cloth - plain weave, twill, basket weave and more.
On day two you will continue your weaving exploration so you can take home handwoven cloth that you've made from start to finish.
Made possible by HIAA and the Hawaii Handweavers Hui
