4-Week Weaving Projects
This is a great way to try your hand at weaving. Peruse the yarn shelves and pick a variety of yarns for your piece. After dressing the loom you will weave a simple runner or scarf in plain weave, basket weave, and a beautiful free-form inlay technique. Open to all levels. Materials included. (16 hours total class time.) $160.00
Beginning Weaving: 8-Week Course
Weaving structures go from very simple to increasingly complex. This course gets you started in the right direction. You will be guided through the planning and measuring your warp, dressing the loom, and how to weave the patterns that are the building blocks of weaving. Students will weave a runner/sampler of plain and basket weaves, rib weave, satin weave, and various twills. Materials included for this beginning sampler. (32 hours of instruction; four hour class each week.) $320.00
12-Week Weaving Study (Open to all levels)
Students work at their own pace and with the help of the instructor create original weavings. Students can weave scarves, belts, window coverings, handbags, wall hangings, blankets, rugs, sculptural pieces, dishtowels, cloth for garments, anything!
(Beginners who have not yet done so usually start with a foundation sampler. Sampler materials included.)
*Students signed up for this 12-week course are given 15 weeks to use their 12 classes. This allows students to skip up to three weeks without missing a class. (48 hours of instruction; four hour class each week.) $480.00
How enrollment and class sessions work:
There are no set dates for course terms, so enrollment is ongoing. New students can start at anytime as long as there is a loom available in the studio. Students arrange a day to start upon registration. A 50% deposit is required to hold a spot.
Materials for a new student’s 4 week project or beginner’s sampler are included as an introductory gift. Students are welcome to use Chicago Weaving School yarns for future projects for a fee, (cost of reimbursement.)
Students work alongside each other but at their own pace. Class size is small so instruction is individualized.
We have some of the nicest students around, so come join us!
