SIMPLE LOOMS SERIES
Weaving is fun, relaxing, and satisfying—we think everybody should do it!  During this summer series on simple looms, we’ll explore various ways to make fabric using affordable and accessible looms that you can create and use on your own.  Take one workshop or take many!

Picture
Simple Looms:  Warp-weighted Loom
(Fabric-Strip Wall Hanging)

Warp-weighted looms have been used around the world for millennia.  You’ll work on ours, weaving a fabric-strip wall hanging to take home, but you will leave with the knowledge of how to create and use your own.  All equipment and materials will be provided for your use in the workshop, but if you have any old fabric or linens lying around that you’d like to use (at least 15” wide), feel free to bring those to use in your weaving.  If the weather’s nice, we’ll work outside on the shaded back patio.    Appropriate for all levels.
Saturday, June 10 – 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
$25 + $5 materials

Picture
Simple Looms: Intro to Backstrap Weaving
Backstrap looms are simple in construction, but can be used to create an immense variety of complex patterns. In this type of weaving, still used in various forms around the world today, the weaver’s own body becomes part of the loom, with a strap around the back that lets the weaver hold one end of the warp and control the warp tension. During this workshop, you will warp and weave your own backstrap, and go home with your very own complete backstrap loom. If the weather is nice, we’ll work on the shaded back patio. The best way to do this kind of weaving is by sitting on the ground, so you may want to bring a pillow or cushion to sit on; however, we can easily make accommodations for those who do not wish to sit on the ground. All equipment and materials will be provided for your use in the workshop. Appropriate for all levels.
Saturday, June 17 – 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
(with an optional extra 2 hours included, as needed, until 6 p.m., at no extra charge)
$35 + $20 materials

Picture
Simple Looms: Frame Loom + Making T-shirt Yarn (Boucherouite Mat)
Learn how to make your own frame loom for almost any size you want! We’ll talk about the (very easy!) construction of the frame loom, create our very own t-shirt yarn, weave a small rag mat, then use a special technique to create a boucherouite mat to take home with you. We’ll provide the equipment and materials you need for your use in the workshop, but if you have any old fabric and/or t-shirts laying around, feel free to bring those to use in your weaving. Appropriate for all levels.
Friday, June 23 – 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
$35 + $7 materials

Picture
Simple Looms:  Cardboard Loom
(Rya Knot Shoulder Bag)

A cardboard loom is perhaps the most accessible and affordable loom there is—but you can do so much with it!  In this workshop, we’ll explore circular weaving on a cardboard loom and the use of Rya knots to make a shoulder bag, which you’ll take home with you.  All tools and materials will be provided for you, but if you have any yarn to add to make your bag super-colorful, feel free to bring it (natural materials preferred).  Appropriate for all levels.

Other Fiber Arts Workshops

Needle tatting is an easy way to make traditional lace, but we’ll use it to make distinctive lacy jewelry.  We’ll learn the basic stitches needed to make lovely dangling earrings (a perfect Mother’s Day gift!). All tools and materials will be provided for your use during the workshop.  Appropriate for all levels, even beginners! 
Saturday, May 13 – 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

All tools and materials will be provided for your use during the workshop. Appropriate for all levels, even beginners!

Picture
Felt X 2 (Upcycled Felt + Needle Felting = Cup Cozies!)
Have you ever thrown a wool sweater in the washer/dryer and come out with a shrunken mess?  Don’t throw it out—use it to create something awesome!  What you’ve done is called “fulling” (commonly thought of as felting), and we can do this on purpose to get some lovely, sturdy fabric, which we can easily cut apart and sew up to make useful and beautiful items.  In this workshop, we’ll discuss how to full products made of protein (animal) fibers, then we’ll cut some pre-fulled items up to make delightful little cup cozies for your take-out hot beverage cups (a stylish and eco-friendly replacement for the cardboard sleeves you normally get).  Then you’ll learn how to needle-felt a design onto your freshly minted cozy.  All tools and materials will be provided for your use during the workshop.  Appropriate for all levels.
Friday, June 9 – 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
$15 + $5 materials

Picture
Paper & Felt Beaded Jewelry
In this workshop, you’ll make two kinds of beads—paper pulp and felted—then put them together into earrings, a bracelet, or a necklace.  With paper pulp, you’ll create beautiful beads using little more than recycled newspaper and some paint.  We’ll set those aside to dry, then make some felted beads with wool roving.  Both of these will be wet, outdoor activities, so please come prepared on the first day of the workshop to work on our shaded back patio!  We’ll set our beads aside to dry, then come back a week later to finish them and create a unique piece of jewelry for you to take home.  All equipment and tools will be provided for your use during the workshop.  Appropriate for all levels. [Cross-listed under Surface Design & Paper Arts--same workshops!]

Picture
Macramé Pebble Pendant
Macramé, that 70s staple, has been experiencing a resurgence lately—a good thing considering how accessible it is, as a craft that does not require expensive tools to get started. You’ll work with waxed cotton cord to make a macramé pebble pendant that you’ll take with you at the end of the workshop. All equipment and tools will be provided for your use during the workshop. This should be an excellent starter project for those new to macramé, or a great refresher for those who’ve been away from it for a while. As such, it is appropriate for all levels.
**Please note the change from Macramé Market Bag workshop.
Saturday, July 1 – 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
$25 + $5 materials

Picture
Beginning Wheel Spinning
Learn how to make your very own yarn from scratch!  In our experience, spinning yarn is the closest thing to magic that you can get, and is a very relaxing and meditative activity (once you get the hang of it!).  We’ll get familiar with some different kinds of spinning wheels, then learn and practice the basics of spinning a singles yarn.  If there’s time after a bit of practice, we’ll talk about some ways you can ply your finished yarn.  All equipment, including a spinning wheel, and materials will be provided for your use during the workshop, and you’ll go home with a small skein of your very own handspun yarn.  If you have your own spinning wheel, we encourage you to bring that to the workshop (if possible).  Appropriate for brand new to beginning spinners.  
Saturday, July 29 – 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
$25 + $5 materials


Picture
Needle-Tatted Choker
Needle tatting is an easy way to make traditional lace, but we’ll use it to make beautiful lacy jewelry.  You’ll learn the basic stitches needed to make an elegant choker. All tools and materials will be provided for your use during the workshop.  Appropriate for all levels, even beginners!
Friday, August 4 – 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
$35 + $7 materials


Picture
Freeform Crochet
Freeform crochet is ideal for you if you (like me) hate following patterns and just want to play with yarn and with different stitch patterns, putting them all together into one harmonious and joyous piece of crocheted fabric. We’ll explore how to put different techniques together within one piece, then learn how to join several pieces together in a freeform way. This workshop does require a basic knowledge of how to crochet—you should know how to make a foundation chain, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, slip stitch, join yarn, increase, decrease, and fasten off; as such, this workshop is appropriate for advanced beginner to intermediate levels and above. Please bring your own crochet hooks. A limited amount of yarn will be provided for you, but in freeform crochet, we want to have a good variety of yarn to choose from, so please bring your own yarn, as well. You will go home with a small-to-medium-sized piece that could be fashioned into a bag of some size (depending on how much time you are able to spend on it in the week between sessions).

Other Opportunities

INTRODUCING YOU + 2

We are proud to announce a fun new option for your creative workshop-taking pleasure:  You + 2. 
 
  • See a workshop you’d like to take, but the timing doesn’t work for you?  If you can find two (or more—up to 6 total!) friends who want to take it with you, we can arrange to teach any workshop in our Workshop Catalog at a time convenient for you.
  • There is a minimum charge, based on three people taking the workshop, and an additional per-person fee above three people—these are exactly the same as our regular workshop rates. Fees depend on the particular workshop, and all fees are paid in advance.
  • This is a great option to participate in a more customized class, to arrange your own private girls’ night out, to have a fun family activity, or to create a team-building experience for your workplace. 
  • If you’d like (and for an additional fee), we can also build in time in our workshop space for additional activities that you want to plan, making this the perfect option for your private parties (birthday parties, wedding showers, baby showers, and such).  Some workshop topics can even be scaled up and done in the place of your choosing—family reunion, anyone? 
  • Check out our Workshop Catalog online (or stop by the studio to pick one up—we can even mail you a copy!) for a listing of our current offerings.  Then contact us to set up a workshop time.  It’s that simple.
Join us — we look forward to being your creative outlet!

KIDS’ WEAVING

Kids are always welcome to weave with us during our regular Walk In & Weave times, but we also have a special weekly section weaving session just for kids (from any age old enough to reach the pedals of the loom, alone or with the help of an adult, up to age 12).  Kids can be weaving with just five minutes of basic instruction, even if they’ve never woven before!  (And kids often weave the most creative cloth, because they are much more open to possibilities than adults.)

During the school year, every Thursday – 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
During the summer, every Thursday – 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.


$15 (Fee includes materials – kids must take home their weaving at the end of each session.  Basic instruction in sewing, to make a cell phone case, purse, and such, is also an option during this time.)


Picture
WALK IN & WEAVE
Join us for our regularly scheduled Walk In & Weave freestyle weaving instruction three times weekly, for all ages—adults and kids, alike.  Come once, or come as often as you'd like!  
  • If you’ve never woven before, consider Walk In & Weave to be your “Introduction to Weaving” class.  C You can be weaving on your own with about five minutes of instruction. 
  • If you have some (or a lot of!) experience weaving, consider Walk In & Weave to be your time to just relax and weave, or to explore some new techniques that you find on our in-studio samplers. 
  • We do the hard part of weaving for you—warping, or setting up, the loom!
  • Choose from any of our great variety of yarns.
  • Take your finished piece home with you at the end of the two-hour session.
Pre-registration is not necessary—simply show up at the regularly-scheduled time that works best for you.  (However, if you want to reserve a loom during a specific time, just email or call us to let us know you are coming.)  To get the most out of your two hours, please be sure to arrive by the starting time of each session.

OPEN BOOKBINDING STUDIO

Have you take a bookbinding workshop at The Makery, then never made a book again because you don't have the tools you need?  Then we have just the thing for you! 

We are now offering a weekly Open Bookbinding Studio on Wednesday nights between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.  Here you will be able to use any of our bookbinding tools, and someone will be here to offer advice and assistance, as well.  The cost will be $10 for up to the full two hours (come as little or as long as you want within that two-hour time period).  We'll also have supply kits (cover material, paper, binding thread) available if you'd like to use those materials to make your book, or you can bring your own.

Please note that this will not be a time for basic bookbinding instruction--it is meant for people who have completed a bookbinding workshop at The Makery, or who can otherwise demonstrate basic competence in bookbinding.  

There is no need to pre-register, but if you think you will come to Open Bookbinding Studio but will not be able to be there right at 6:00 p.m.,please call, text, or email me to let us know you are coming.
