Handweaving: Table Runner (one-day workshop)

Join us for a full day workshop with award winning weaver, Dahlia Popovits, where you will create a beautiful unique table runner to be kept for your own use or given as a gift (in time for Thanksgiving!). No previous experience is necessary as you will be guided through the weaving, design and finishing process.

Everyone will be provided a rigid heddle loom to use during class along with repurposed cotton fabric strips and luxury yarns. You are also welcome to bring your own fabrics to cut into strips and weave with. These can include a loved one's flannel shirt, neckties, and or patterned sheets which are no longer in service, etc. Class price includes a $20 materials fee.
