Woven Patterning by Hand, Jun. 28 & 29 (Sat/Sun), 10-5pm, Catskill, NY
Instructor: Etta Sandry
Class Description:
Woven Patterning by Hand is a two-day introductory-level class focused on hand-manipulated weave structures. On the first day, students will learn how to wind a small warp and set up a 4-harness loom. Students will get started on the loom by learning plain weave and the basics of loom mechanics. On the second day, students will be introduced to techniques for patterning by hand including inlay, leno lace, brooks bouquet, and Danish medallion and will be encouraged to sample and play. By the end of the second day, students will cut off their work and learn how to finish the edges of their weaving. This class is designed for students who are new to weaving on a shaft loom as well as those with some previous experience who want to explore new techniques.

Cancellation Policy:
Please consider carefully before signing up for one of our classes or purchasing a class for another person. Due to the small class size for in-person workshops and the limited number of looms, each person makes an important contribution to the group dynamic and cancelling within short notice can make it difficult to fill your spot. If you do need to cancel, please be aware of our policies:
If the cancellation is 30 or more days before the start of the workshop, you have the option of rescheduling for a different class free of charge. If the cancellation is fewer than 30 days from the start of the workshop, this results in forfeiture of your entire course fee. Rescheduling in fewer than 30 days is only available if your spot can be from the waitlist. However, the closer the start date, the more difficult it can be to fill a spot from the Waitlist.
No refunds will be given on gift certificates. (Updated 03/27/2025)
