Rug Weaving Workshop

Two-Day Intensive Workshop. You are invited to participate in our "Beginning Rug Weaving Workshop". This course will cover all aspects of rug weaving. Participants will make their own rug to take home and will be guided through the entire process from setting up the loom, material sourcing, weaving processes, and finishing your product. The course begins Saturday morning with weaving nomenclature and end Sunday afternoon as you tie the ends of your completed rug. The courses are structured so that you will be actively engaged in each part of the weaving process. Among the techniques you will learn are: loom warping, loom stringing, preparation of materials for weaving, rug weaving and rug finishing.

This is the perfect workshop if you own a loom, are looking to start a rug weaving business or needing a refresher course on the entire process.
