Class Description:

Course Description:  This crash course in learning to weave will cover the basics—planning, choosing yarns, warping, threading, beaming on, tying up, weaving and finishing—all in a matter of 7 days!  The weaving will focus on Twills and Plain weaves.  Students can weave a sampler or an actual item like a scarf, towel, runner, placemats, or pillow front.  PTArts looms are available for use or students can bring their own loom to PTArts for the class.  Yarns necessary for the class will be provided as part of the $20 materials fee.  Students are also encouraged to bring any yarns they may have on hand.

Day 1  Sat. the 10th:  Intros (students, Lolli, the WSSGs, the class);  Handouts;  Planning–choosing projects and materials, doing the math.
Day 2 Sunday the 11th:  Measuring and making warps,
Day 3 Monday the 12th: Finish warps, Thread the looms
Day 4 Tuesday the 13th:  Finish threading, Beam on (wind warps onto looms)|
Day 5 Wednesday the 14th: Finish setting up, Begin weaving.
Day 6 Thursday the 15th: Weave!  This session will have to happen from  10am to 1,  as the Calligraphers have the classroom from  1:30 to 3:30.
Day 7 Fri. Jan. 16:  Finish Weaving, learn more about finishes. Celebrate.
You will have access to the classroom any other time except Thursday afternoon.  Expect to spend some extra time weaving. You can bring your own loom to PTArts for the class but looms must be removed by the end of January.  Otherwise looms will be provided but must be cleared by the first of February.
