Coconino Community College - Flagstaff

In this workshop, you will learn a brief history of weaving and off-loom weaving. We will all start with the same pattern/structure, then you will begin a pattern of your choosing. You will learn how to begin the warp and weft on a 5" x 5" piece of wood (without pegs or grooves); then use a tapestry needle for the shuttle. Come learn this amazing craft and discover the mental health benefits of weaving!

The registration fee includes all materials needed.
