Wool Table Runner: Learning To Weave On A Frame Loom

Fiber Arts

Traudi Bestler

Add a colorful dimension to your dining room table by learning to weave traditional wool table runners on a sturdy, portable frame loom. Frame loom weaving produces textiles with geometric designs such as stripes or plaids and a shuttle that weaves back and forth from one side of the fabric to the other. You'll develop your weaving skills on a frame loom as you work to finish a table linen (or use as wall hanging), design a weft-faced textile in class and use at least two colors and several geometric patterns for your project.

Making it happen:

When should I enroll?
We can't hold classes without students! Decisions regarding course cancellations (as related to minimum enrollment) are made three weeks before the class starts--so if you've got a course in mind, plan ahead and sign up at least three weeks in advance! That way we'll know you're coming, courses are more likely to meet minimum enrollment numbers, and then they'll actually take place.
Also watch for the words "nearly full" next to course dates. When that notation appears it means there are only one or two spots left--so sign up soon!
Do you take last minute registrations?
Of course! Although it's important that courses meet minimum enrollment three weeks before their scheduled start dates, we know that life doesn't always allow for prior planning. As long as there are still spots left in a course we're happy to accept your registration last minute.
When will new course dates be posted?
New course dates are posted both in the spring and fall to coordinate with our course catalog release dates. All the new dates are opened for enrollment on the same day and at the same time, so that everyone gets a fair crack at a spot in the courses they're interested in. As that time rolls around we announce when the new dates will "go live" in our e-newsletter. (sign up here!)
