Weave a Sunset: Intro to Tapestry

Fibres West
Agriplex, Cloverdale BC
Saturday March 30th 9:30-4

Learn the art of designing for and weaving tapestry using our handcrafted Everlea loom and a gorgeous array of naturally dyed yarns.

Introduction to Tapestry Weaving is a chock-full workshop which introduces new weavers to the fundamentals of tapestry. You will leave the workshop with a solid understanding of how to dress your loom, make shapes and blend colours, including some 'magic' techniques. There's more to learn than you think. Join me!

You will get to use and take home an Everlea Mini Loom kit, as follows:

  1. A handcrafted wooden Everlea Loom
  2. Your choice of colourways of my Everlea Yarn when you arrive at the studio.
  3. Two Everlea Weaving Needles

After the workshop you will get access to the following support materials:

  1. Janna's downloadable e-book with custom illustrations
  2. Forever access to an online class of the same tapestry class, previously recorded.
