STUDIO WORKSHOPS

are held in my San Diego studio, on the outdoor terrace, weather permitting (in San Diego, the weather usually cooperates year-round). A delicious lunch is included for full-day workshops.

 

A Loom in a Tube will be provided for the class, and may be purchased at the end of the class, or you may bring your own loom.

 

For out-of-towners, studio workshops give you a reason to enjoy some fine weather in San Diego. Transportation will be provided to and from select local hotels. Please ask us for a list of hotels.

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 or borrow one for the day from us.
