Small-Loom Weaving on a Bookmark Loom - Shannon Squire - Sat. 8/1

Saturday, August 1 10:00-1:00, 3 hours About this class: Have you always wanted to learn how to weave? This little loom is the perfect way to dip your toes in to the wonderful world of weaving! Learn basic weaving skills on this wonderful wee Bookmark Loom. No experience necessary, we'll go over all the steps of weaving, we'll cover best practices, and you'll have the opportunity to play on your new loom, and hopefully pick up a new hobby. Plus, this little loom is reusable, so you can weave till the cows come home (and use up all of your leftover yarn to make adorable gifts for loved ones). Level: Beginner What you’ll need to bring to class: fingering-weight yarn scraps, approximately 6g (or more if you'd like!). Each bookmark uses 6 grams or so. About the instructor: Hello, there! My name is Shannon Squire. I’m what you might call a craftasaurus rex. In other words, I’ve never met a craft I didn’t like. Once upon a time, I owned a knit shop in Portland, Oregon, and once upon another time, I designed knitting patterns. Now, I’m focusing on teaching the crafts I love: weaving, quilting, sewing, & embroidery, as well as loads of other crafty skills. One of my favorite things to do is to share my love of craft with others, and see that lightbulb of craftiness come on.
