INTRODUCTION TO TAPESTRY

DESCRIPTION

Tapestry Weaving (Introductory Level)
Date: September 19 - October 10, 2017 (Tuesdays, 4 weeks)
Time: 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Instructor: Jane Alderdice
Fee: $53 plus HST (Members) | Fee: $60.96 plus HST (Non Members)

In this introductory course, you will learn to weave on a simple frame loom, using finger techniques to create your own one-of-a-kind hand woven piece: a small tapestry to hang on your wall. No experience in weaving, design or art required. We will begin with a small project such as a bookmark to learn basic techniques, then move on to the tapestry.

Jane Alderdice is a weaver and artist who spends fall and winter in Toronto, Ontario, and spring and summer on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. She holds a Bachelor of Design degree from the Ontario College of Art and Design. She has been weaving for many years. She has taught many workshops in drawing, watercolour, and weaving. She enjoys sharing her love of textiles, art and creating with others. Check out this website to see what she is up to! https://foreshadowandlight.wordpress.com
