Weave a Landscape Tapestry on a Frame Loom

Adult | Available

In this workshop we will work with wooden frame looms to create tapestry images of landscapes. By weaving with multiple colors at once, weavers can create subtle, dimensional landscape images that feature the natural structure of the woven cloth.  


Participants are encouraged to bring in an image of a landscape they love. We can use your image, along with some graph paper, to create a plan for the scale, texture and colors of your woven scene. 


Weavers will also have the option to add a DIY heddle to their frame loom to speed the weaving process up a bit! 


We encourage intergenerational participation. Students under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, who is also registered for the course. 

  • Snow date: January 31, 2026 from 9:00-4:00 pm

    There is a $4 registration fee included in tuition.
    Members will have the $4 deducted from tuition.
