Introduction to Frame Loom Weaving

Learn to weave in this beginner's course exploring the many possibilities of creating woven forms using a simple frame loom. Students experiment with basic tapestry and plain weave techniques, including interlocking, inlay, and shape-building, as they explore ways of creating surface, image, texture, and various color effects within a woven form. Additional techniques, including basket weave, twill, soumak, pile, rya, and twining, will be introduced. Contemporary weaving projects, historical references, and the relevance of weaving to material production, fine art, and craft will be presented through discussions, visual presentations, demonstrations, and readings. No experience is necessary.
