Art (ages 16+)

of weaving is a great opportunity for a beginner to ‘test the
waters’ and see if weaving is all that they thought it would be.
It is also perfect for folks who have woven in the past but need
a refresher on how to dress the loom. Intermediate students will
want to book several sessions for larger projects. Students
wishing to work on long-term projects must book consecutive
sessions. Materials: Cost of

composition, perspective, lighting, backgrounds, etc.
