This workshop will introduce you to the wonderful world of inkle loom weaving! Warp-faced bands allow for exploration of color interactions and design elements in a whole new way. In no time, you'll be up and weaving bands for bag straps, belts, bookmarks, keychains, and more.
We'll start by warping the loom and learning to weave plain weave. Then we'll jump into more complex designs and learn to develop your own patterns.
