Fiber Weaving with Anca Thomas

Join us for a beginner-friendly introduction to the world of fabric weaving!

In this hands-on workshop, participants will warp the loom, during which Anca will give an intro about the techniques that she uses. Then, participants will create rows with different materials in the kits, and at the end Anca will teach how one detaches the weaving piece from the loom. The materials will vary in textures and colors. Each student will take home what they create plus few more yarns so they are able to practice at home. Materials will be provided.
