About this Workshop: 

In this workshop participants will learn the basics of weaving on a 4 shaft loom. The workshop will begin with a demonstration and teaching on the basics of weaving, how a 4 shaft loom works, and an opportunity to try out different patterns and materials. 

Next, participants will choose colours and weave their own tea towel, from start to finish. Once the tea towel is off the loom, participants will hem the towel using our sewing machines. 

You will go home with your very own finished handwoven tea towel!

We will be covering the following techniques:
