My Students
November 20-22, 2015 Janet - Introduction to Weaving
Janet really enjoyed taking this class. She had woven before but said that she needed a refresher class to review how to wind her warp, warp her loom and a review on understanding the different weave structures. She did a fantastic job on her sampler. I was so proud of the weaving that she did.
Winding the warp on the warping board.
Love choosing my colors for the warp.
Warp is wound - the cross looks great.
The cross is tied and I'm ready to take my warp off the warping board.
