Blend the magic of textiles with the natural plant world in this special foraging and weaving workshop with Weaver House. During this 2-hour workshop, you’ll learn the basics of weaving: how to warp and weave on a small frame loom, finish your weaving and taking it off the loom, and tips & tricks for future projects. Students will forage for natural plant materials at Glen Foerd to use in their woven creations, and each participant will walk away with a small weaving – loom and materials are included, and the loom is yours to keep after the workshop! No previous weaving experience is necessary.
This workshop is taught by Ji Sun Chong for Weaver House. Weaver House is a yarn shop, textile studio, and weaving school founded to inspire communal collaboration, weaving education, and creative gathering. We teach mindfulness and meditation throughout all of the workshops and believe that weaving can be therapeutic and healing. Our shop is located in South Philadelphia at 1901 S 9th St, Space 203.
