Tapestry Adventures is about discovering the creative art of tapestry weaving with all its color, texture, shape, and fun ways to use your imagination! In this four-part, self-paced class series, we’ll learn the basics to weave a tapestry using a simple frame loom including a few beginning techniques to get started creating tapestries that tell stories about colors and textures. We start at the beginning; learning to prepare the loom with the warp (vertical 1) then will begin to explore basic techniques, each step of the way with a view of my hands demonstrating while I describe the process. I've included a few bonus videos as an optional tool after the main lesson to extend or reinforce the content covered in the main lesson. In this self-paced class there is always the option to pause the video and rewind at any time to see something again and to watch the video as many times as needed so there's no need for the learner to feel rushed. Tapestry weaving is a slow art form so I encourage the learner to work slowly and enjoy the process. Weaving can be very calming with the sensory experience of working with yarn and the slow paced repetitive nature of the process. My goal is always to focus on the creative process and nurture the learner's creative spirit as they discover new ways to express themselves. Loom + yarn + color, texture, shape + imagination = fun creative expression!

Lista de útiles escolares
Please see the materials list in the Lesson 1 files where I have shared details for recommended places to get the following materials if you don't have them. In the list there is a kit that contains all the essential materials I've listed below. The kit can be purchased for $20 ($18 with the coupon code CAROL10 that will give you 10% off) from Raven King Crafts, the Etsy shop where I found the kit. If you prefer to find the materials separately or already have some on hand, here's the list of the essential materials need: 1. Simple frame style weaving loom - frames made of wood work best and are much easier to work on for the learner than a cardboard loom. 2. Warp thread - a strong cotton thread such as 8/4 cotton twine or carpet warp. 3. Weft yarn - preferably natural fibers such as wool or cotton but other fibers are also fine, just be sure there is no stretch to the yarn. 4. Tapestry needle (plastic or metal both work) with a blunt tip and large eye. Optional: a weaving comb/beater (a hair comb with wide teeth can work)
