Freeform weaving provides a way to explore the interaction of colors and textures with spontaneity. The juxtaposition of beads and yarn creates beautiful contrasts in color and texture. Use this technique to weave purses, pouches, tapestries and clothing. You will learn basic weft-faced weaving techniques, and how to interweave areas of bead weaving. No weaving experience is required. Bring your own loom purchase a Loom in a Tube.
