2026 09 Manchester Intermediate/Advanced Floor Loom
This individualized project-based class will provide the student the opportunity to weave projects of their choice. Instructional support is provided for warp winding, loom preparation and weaving. Bench time will be available for students during the 8 weeks, plus regular bench time hours through November 21. 2 weeks prior to the start of class, each student will be contacted to schedule a 30 minute project planning session (in person or virtual) with the instructor. You'll be asked to email your project plan or idea ahead of the planning session and should come prepared to the session with an outline or plan for a project you would like to create, including weave structure, product and fiber ideas. This can be a draft you have designed or one you have obtained and wish to alter or replicate.
