Week Long Weaving Classes

Beginning Weaving Week
  Instructor: Thomas E. Knisely  
  Fee: $425.00  
  Our Beginning Weaving class starts each student on a prewarped loom so that they can become familiar with the different parts of the loom and how it works. Each student begins by weaving cotton towels and then a patterned sampler so that they understand how to read a pattern draft. Warping experience comes in the middle of the week after the student becomes accustomed to the looms. Each student is guided through the process of calculating the material requirements for a scarf project, and then proceeds to warp a loom for their own scarf. A variety of projects is accomplished, giving the student an exposure to various types of weaving as well as finishing techniques. Materials are provided with the exception of the scarf.

Warp & Weave
  Instructor: Thomas E. Knisely  
  Fee: $425.00  
  The course is designed for a person who has already taken a basic weaving class, but has problems when it comes time to warp the loom. Warping the loom is not as difficult as it sometimes seems, and we'll let you in on our secrets and short cuts in this week of warping fun. The class will cover warp planning, choice of threads, setts and treadling. Students average 4 projects in 5 days, using a variety of yarns and weave structures.
