This class uses an embroidery hoop as both loom and frame to create an original weaving to be hung on a wall.  Students will learn to warp the loom, select appropriate yarns and other materials, design a weaving and then begin to create.  The instructor will demonstrate several weaving stitches and some pile weaves that can be used to add texture to the weaving.  If the weaving is not finished in class, students can take home enough materials to finish the project.

This class is suitable for both experienced weavers and beginners.  

Miriam Young - Using the traditional crafts of felting, knitting, crocheting, macrame, and embroidery, I create fiber art.  My most recent work involves wet felting and nuno felting.  Felting is transformation.  Thin, fragile wool roving is transformed into strong and vibrant felt by my hands, soap, water and agitation.  The colors, textures, thickness of the product, and ultimate shape of the felt are determined by me and the techniques that I use to create it.  I feel that I am creating something at a very fundamental level when I am felting.
