Frame Loom Weaving with Lesley Kice-Nishigawara
Learn how to weave on a frame loom, a small portable way to weave. The frame loom is used by artist Sheila Hicks to create her small Minime weavings. This workshop will take participants through the process of weaving on a frame loom including setting up the loom (warping), weaving with a tapestry technique to create images and/or patterns, and finishing a weaving.
Looms and tools for weaving are included in the price, participants can bring home a loom with them after the workshop. Yarn will be available to use although participants are encouraged to bring unconventional materials to weave with also. Students will need to bring their own scissors. Open to those 14 years of age and older. Workshop fee is $150.
