"Make and Take" a Woven Wall Hanging on a Rigid Heddle Loom:
A 1 Day Workshop with Shari Diamond
In this workshop you will design and create your own 14" wide 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: 
Shari Diamond learned to weave in 2018 at the Weaving Center and "caught the weaving bug." She is now enrolled in the Hill Institute's Master Weaver Program. Shar loves to share her enthusiasm for, and knowledge of weaving with others.

  • Our classrooms and studios are currently only accessible by a flight of stairs.

  • Refund Policy and Class Cancellations: 

    • 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. Please contact us if supplies are included as part of the registration fee.
      - We do not offer credit towards another class.
