Learn the basics of tapestry weaving

Class description

Tapestry weaving is an amazing way to create visual impact using the warp as your canvas and yarn as your paint. Once you know basic tapestry techniques you can translate your ideas into a woven image. In this session we will learn the basic tapestry techniques that are used to create a design and bring it to life with yarn. Techniques include horizontal and vertical stripes, hatching, angles, slit and dovetail joins, pick and pick techniques, and outlining. Each student can move at their own pace.

In the second class we will talk about design considerations, different tapestry looms available, where different techniques can be used to best advantage to create the effect you are hoping to achieve, and the use of cartoons. We will look at the work tapestry artists and how they incorporate various techniques into their work.

Looms will be available to rent, but feel free to bring your own tapestry or two harness loom. We will be weaving about 5 inches wide, and recommended sett I 8 ends per inch.

Peggy MacArthur

I began weaving in about 1980 when my husband built me a 40” wide floor loom using an illustration from a library book on weaving. Talk about pressure!!! I taught myself the basics of weaving then took a weaving class , which turned out to be tapestry. I wove a great deal in the early 1980s, with a focus of tapestry using images from Astronomy Magazine as inspiration. After a forty year hiatus, I am now back to weaving and tapestry continues to offer constant challenge and pleasure. It is a technique in which you are constantly manipulating the yarn with your fingers and is highly satisfying.
