Come learn the basics of weaving, using naturally dyed wool (made by Gail herself) and elements from nature, such as dried flowers and leaves, to create a one-of-kind tapestry for hanging in your favorite nook.   Participants will learn how to warp a loom and employ various weaving techniques to make their own tapestry weaving.

No experience is necessary.  All materials will be provided, including a selection of naturally dyed yarn made with madder, indigo, weld, logwood and more.

FEE:  $55 / participant + $15 materials fee

This weaving session is four hours long to allow everyone sufficient time to complete a finished piece that is approximately 8 x 10".  Breaks are encouraged anytime after the first hour of the session; participants are also welcome to leave before the end of the session if they complete their piece before the end of the session.
