You want to weave. But every time you think about it, the loom setup stops you before you even start.
We hear this more than you might think. Dressing a loom is its own skill — one that takes time, patience, and a fair amount of practice before it stops feeling like a puzzle. And if you've ever gotten halfway through a new draft only to realize the journey isn't what you hoped, you know exactly how discouraging that can be.
This class was built for that feeling.
Sample Weaving at Its Best — June 16 & 17 — with instructors Brad and Joan.
Here's how it works: Brad and Joan will have five floor looms already dressed and ready when you walk in. Each one is set up with a different threading and treadling. Your job? Just weave.
Over the two days, you'll move through four techniques — Clasped Weft, Undulating Twill, Pinwheel, and Overshot — following the treadling pattern posted on each loom. You'll walk away with a woven sample from every single one, plus the PDFs to reference at home whenever you're ready to try them on your own loom.
All yarn is provided. You'll just need to bring a tape measure, scissors, and a finishing or tapestry needle.
A few important details:
🧵 Skill level: Intermediate (weaving basics, 4-shaft knowledge, and hemstitching)
🧵 Class size: 5 students maximum
🧵 Shona's Café will be open 6 AM–3 PM — plenty of time for a coffee before you settle in at your loom
This is one of those classes that removes every excuse standing between you and actually weaving. Spots are limited to five, so if this is calling your name, don't wait.
