Tapestry weaving is an ancient weft-faced weaving technique dating back to 1400 BCE. In its modern use the structure has been adapted to be used for wall hangings, rugs, pictorial imagery and fine art. In this course we will spend one month working on frame looms to learn all the basic terminology, weft wrapping techniques, and supplemental weft additions. In the second half of the course we will move to floor looms and see how tapestry weaving can be applied when using a bigger loom! All materials provided; students will leave with their own frame loom, weaving supplies, and two completed projects.
