Learn to Weave: 4-Week Online Frame Loom Workshop

Part 1: Foundations of Frame Loom Weaving

Have you always wanted to learn how to weave?

Join artist and educator Debbie Barrett-Jones for a four-week online introduction to frame loom weaving. This workshop is designed for beginners and anyone who would like to build a stronger foundation in weaving while exploring color, texture, pattern, and creative expression.

You'll receive a prepared frame loom weaving kit shipped directly to you and meet with Debbie live online each week for 90 minutes of instruction, demonstration, conversation, and time to work on your own weaving.

No previous weaving experience is required.

What You'll Learn

During this four-week workshop, we'll explore the foundations of frame loom weaving, including:

• Understanding your loom, warp, and weft

• Basic weaving techniques

• Creating and maintaining good tension

• Working with color, texture, and different yarns

• Exploring simple patterns and composition

• Troubleshooting common weaving challenges

• Finishing your woven piece

• Developing confidence to continue weaving on your own

The goal is not to create a perfect piece. It's to learn how weaving works, experiment with materials and ideas, and begin developing your own creative approach.

This is Part 1: Foundations, with future workshops offering opportunities to explore more advanced techniques, materials, and creative development.
