FREE-STYLE WEAVING: MAY GET-TOGETHER

FREE-STYLE WEAVING: MAY GET-TOGETHER
With Lianna Gilman
Wednesday May 3, 10 am to 12 noon (this class will meet the first Wednesday of each month)

We’re continuing the March-April free-style weaving class with a once-a-month get-together. Even if you missed the first series, you’re welcome to join these sessions, where you can quickly and easily learn the techniques. Our focus will be on free-style weaving (using cardboard or 3-dimensional objects as the loom) and knotting (creating necklaces, cording etc).
No previous weaving experience is needed. In the free-style approach, there are no patterns or rules to follow, no right or wrong ways of creating. What emerges is simply an exploration of color, texture, curiosity, and natural self-expression that creates a joyful alchemy and a sense of liberation. Everyone is supported to follow their own curiosities and encouraged to share their weavings in the spirit of learning from each other. Free-style weaving on cardboard looms is a great activity for sharing with friends, children and grandchildren. With a pre-warped loom and a bag of weavables, you can easily make up a kit that travels well and provides lots of opportunity for creative play.
Basic materials will be provided. For a list of additional materials to bring see the class listing on our website at www.createspacelangley.org
