Experimental Tapestry: Creative Weaving (in person)

Course description

Tailored for both beginners and experienced textile artists, delve into non-traditional approaches to tapestry, and challenge the boundaries of traditional weaving by incorporating diverse textures, found objects, and sculptural elements into weaving. Through a combination of hands-on practice and creative exploration, develop both technical proficiency and an expanded conceptual understanding of tapestry as a contemporary art form. By the end of the workshop, each participant will have created a unique woven artwork, gaining a deeper appreciation for the expansive creative possibilities within this enduring medium.
