Weave Textures and Shapes on a Frame Loom – Karen LeBlanc
HALF-DAY WORKSHOP – November 1, 2025 | 1 pm – 4 pm
Explore the art of weaving on a pre-warped frame loom and create your own wall-hanging masterpiece. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to weave basic shapes, experiment with texture, and work with a variety of yarns and materials.
Along the way, you’ll be introduced to key weaving terms like warp, weft, selvedge, and shed, and learn how to personalize your piece—even painting the frame after your piece is complete. Bring your curiosity and any yarn, roving, or special materials you’d like to incorporate. You’ll leave with a finished mini tapestry, ready to hang or display.
