"Make and Take" a Woven Wall Hanging on a Rigid Heddle Loom: A 1 Day Workshop
with Roberta Collins SOLD OUT
In this workshop you will design and create your own wall hanging on a rigid heddle loom. Learn basic tapestry techniques and weaving skills, while calling on your inner artist to choose colors and patterns. This is a fun and delightful style of creating! Your loom will be pre-warped so you can easily begin weaving! At the end of class your wall-hanging will be ready to take home.

Skill Level: Perfect if you have never woven before or are a weaver who would like to try this playful approach!
                                                                        

About the Instructor: 
Roberta Collins' love of fiber arts started with knitting in 2000 and spinning in 2006.  Having an abundance of hand spun yarn eventually led her to learn how to weave. She primarily weaves on a rigid heddle loom.  Roberta has been an instructor and volunteer at the Weaving Center since 2021.

​​

  • Check payment is due within 2 weeks of your registration to secure your spot.

    • The Weaving Center reserves the right to cancel a class due to low enrollment. Should we do so, registered students will receive a full refund. 

    • For active classes cancelled due to weather or instructor illness, a make-up time will be scheduled. 

    • Registered Students: Please notify the Weaving Center as soon as possible if there is a need to cancel your registration.
      - If there is a waiting list and the spot can be filled, a 3% processing fee will be deducted from the total refund if you have paid by credit. If you have paid by check and the spot can be filled, you will receive a full refund.
      - If a spot cannot be filled, no refund will be offered. This includes absences due to unexpected events or personal circumstances such as illness.
      - We do not offer credit towards another class.

  • No-shows forfeit any refund and make-up classes (for instances other than weather related cancellations or instructor illness) are not offered.
