Come learn the basics of tapestry weaving! Tapestry weaving is a slow, meditative hand process that is great for using up special bits of yarn from your stash. We will learn basic stitches that are great for making landscapes and non-objective textural compositions. The process is similar to painting in that colors and shapes can be changed and moved easily until you love your piece. A wooden frame loom for you to take home is included in the price of the class.
Bring our own yarn, or choose from our stash. Wool works best, but acrylic and cotton is ok too.
This class is taught by visiting artist Jane Burleigh. Jane has developed this class based on her art practice - this is the only time she will be teaching this here at Alchemy, so if you are interested, be sure to sign up!
This class is held in the print shop on the AAC campus. Directions and parking information will be included in your confirmation email.
Registration: Please register early if you are able, as it helps us to assure that classes meet their minimums in order to run! If you register more than three weeks before this class begins, a 20% early bird discount will automatically be applied to your ticket at checkout.
A Note on Ticket Pricing: We are experimenting with offering sliding-scale tickets in order to keep our classes accessible to as many community members as possible. There are three price tiers. Sustaining tickets helps us continue to invest in programming. Full-price tickets cover the costs associated with running classes. Accessibility tickets are priced below what it costs for us to run a class. If the cost of a full-price ticket is a hardship, we encourage you to purchase a sliding-scale ticket. If you can pay the full price or sustaining price, please choose that option so we can keep providing arts programming to the community.
Tuition Assistance: Tuition assistance is available for Alchemy classes and workshops if finances are a barrier. Apply for tuition assistance here.
