Thrumori (Saori-like)
First Time Weavers Intro to Intuitive Weaving
Quick Start on Floor Loom
Students will work on pre-dressed floor looms and receive instruction on basic loom operation and support throughout the weaving process. Each person be encouraged to weave from a place of exploration and intuition, designing their "Thrumori" at the loom. "Thrumori" is Tammy's term for a textile woven by recycling "Thrums" (weaver's warp ends previously considered discards).
New weavers have free-choice from our eclectic fiber collection of colors and textures (including ooak hand-painted and metallic ends) all included in the class fee.
Basic class is 5 studio hours (evening class is two sessions of 2.5 hrs) and the piece is removed from the loom for you unless you'd like additional sessions to weave a longer textile. You may decide near the end of your session.
Possible use for your Thrumori textile include: wall art /hanging, decorative pillow front, quilt piecing, garment panel (cuffs, collar, lapel or waist banding), envelope purse or mini tote, additional sessions may yield an artful neck scarf, table runner or waist sash/belt.
Additional weaving sessions on the same piece you started (2 hour increments for $15ea) are available day, evening or weekends scheduled with Tammy. This Weaving class may be repeated as many times as you like.
Schedule to attend with up to 3 friends and BYOB if you like!
Instruction, materials and loom rental all included in the flat class fee.
