Loom Weaving Classes : Chicago Area School for Fiber Art Education

 

Weaving Skills: Dyeing to weave

Instructor: Tammy L. Deck 

 
Yes! This can be your second ever project! Create your own version of this beautiful hand-dyed chenille scarf. During this class you will measure your warp from luxurious rayon chenille, then go on to dye the yarn in your own custom colorway. After the yarn dries, you can go on to weave at your own pace, and the result will be a truly one-of-a-kind creation.

Must have prior 4-shaft weaving experience. If not, consider taking Weaving I now and this class at a later date.

Project materials and loom use are included in our class fee. Already have a portable 4-shaft loom? Bring it to class and we'll credit you $10. Looms available at the studio for purchase as low as $400. 

Dates: April 3, 2013 to measure warp
April 10 to dye yarn **
Meets: Wednesdays, 2pm to 4:30pm (ish)
Fee: $160 (materials included)

New Felt Making Class....Just Added

FELTING SKILLS: BEGINNERS INTRO / Flat Felt with a Flounce! Scarf

Instructor:  Tammy L. Deck

Introduced at the One of a Kind Show.... a scarf style that is suitable for beginner students to wet felting for the first time.  Come learn this  fun, unusual process and make your own soft, sculptural felt fabric to be used as a neck scarf. Wet felting by-passes spinning and knitting (it's true! there's no knitting involved) and capitalizes on the natural attributes of animal hair fibers to bond together in the formation of a "non-woven" fabric. During Tammy's 4 hour workshop, each student will work super soft merino wool (a whole palette of color options available) and learn how to layout the fiber, wet it and work it into their finished piece which includes hole cutting and flounce edge shaping.
NO KNITTING, CROCHETING OR FELTING NEEDLES are used during this process!!
All materials and equipment supplied. Come ready for a soap and water work out!
Date: January 31, 2013 *
Meets: Thursday, 11am to 3pm (ish)
Fee: $85 (all materials provided)
