Using traditional feltmaking as a medium, students will develop work based on the body. Create solid, flat and three-dimensional felt. Intermediate to advanced will work with color on individual projects. Use your own yarn or purchase yarn from the school.
Tapestry is also an option on a floor or frame loom.
The course is for TWS members and 3 to 4 additional advanced tapestry weavers on a first registration basis.

Brocaded plain weave, damask, double cloth, compound warps and compound wefts will all be introduced. Sources of imagery and inspiration will be covered.
