Inkle weaving is a fun and creative craft. By using this small, portable loom students can make bands, belts, straps, accessories, bookmarks, dog collars, trims and more! Students will learn how to read and design a draft, warp the loom and weave a simple project. After learning the basics, students will develop a colorful design of their own patterns or learn more intermediate techniques incorporating contrasting colors, inlay or pick-up. This class is taught by Carol Johnson of the Weavers Guild of Minnesota (WGM), who has been weaving since the 1990s, using tablets, rigid heddle and floor looms, and is co-founder of Studio Tupla.
This class costs $105 for ASI and WGM members, and $125 for nonmembers. A handout fee of $2 will be collected in class, payable to the instructor. Yarns will also be available for purchase from WGM. Advance registration is required by Wednesday, June 13, and space is limited. Please call 612-871-4907.
