Back by popular demand! Our first Weaving and Wine class went very well indeed! The participants enjoyed a nice evening out as they learned weaving skills and completed their first hand woven mug rugs. Several said they would like to do it again. And so we shall - Welcome to Weaving & Wine Rev 2.0! As before, folks new to weaving will focus on learning the fundamentals of weaving on a cardboard loom. Experienced weavers will continue practicing the skills they’ve learned while exploring new techniques that use two colors of yarn simultaneously. Once again, everyone will go home with a small Mug Rug (aprox 5”x5”) showing off their new weaving skills and a smile. No experience is required. Encourage your family, friends and fiber buddies to join you - make it a party.
There will be a cash bar at the class offering beer and wine. Bring a light snack to share if desired.
About the Instructor: Gary learned to weave in early retirement nearly 20 years ago. He restored and maintained two vintage looms at the Aiken County Historical Museum in South Carolina enabling him to give weaving demonstrations and facilitate production of scores of gift shop rag rugs and place mats at the Museum. He provided dozens of pre-teen boys and girls a chance to weave on small table looms during Summer Art Camps at the Aiken Center for the Arts. More recently, he has been hosting “Weaving on the Porch” next to Ms Paula’s Kids Art table at The Farmers Market. His mission is simple - Pay It Forward, with gratitude for all those that helped him on his weaving journey.
