Branch tapestry weaving with Kaci Smith

more about this class

Kaci will teach a lesson on how to turn an ordinary branch into a loom for tapestry weaving. No prior weaving experience required. During this two hour class, she will lead us on the basic steps of setting up the warp, starting your weaving, how to transition from one color to another, as well as finishing techniques. Everything you need to know to complete the project on your own, and keep making more. Warning: you may become addicted to branch weaving! BYOB (Bring your own branch). Note from Kaci: I do feel that it's an integral part of the process to get into nature and find a special branch. Here is a LINK to a video where I show what to look for in branch selection. I will also have backup branches in case anyone brings something that will be too difficult to work with.
