Twining is an ancient technique, used in basket-making and weaving worldwide. Over a century ago, twining began to be used to weave rugs. Twined rugs are made on upright frames and resemble braided rugs. Making rugs from rags became popular during the 19th century with the industrial production of cloth. It was a popular household craft in America until the beginning of World War I.
Who is this class for? EVERYONE! We will start with the basics and teach you what you need to know to make a twined rag potholder or trivet.
In this class, we will jump into the weaving world with fabric. This loom is a great way to try something new. We will use 2 precut fabric pieces. The colors work best if they contrast with each other. It takes a bit to get the hang of it, but by the end of class, you will either be finished with your potholder/trivet or very close to finished. You will be able to leave class ready to start a twined rug!
No Materials Fee: Fabric and Warp are included in your class fee. Scissors and other tools are supplied.
