Fiber Arts

Arbutus has a wide variety of fiber arts classes, covering everything from spinning and dyeing, to knitting and weaving. Join our master artisans in learning a skill that has been fundamental to cultures throughout history.

Contemporary Tapestry Weaving
Weaving images by hand is an ancient art form that has continued to inspire contemporary artists worldwide. In this class, we will cover all of the basic building blocks of beginning a personal tapestry weaving practice: warping a tapestry frame loom, creating and using designs suitable for weaving, building shapes, color blending, and some of the many techniques for finishing and display of your piece. All yarn and tools will be provided, and the looms we use in class* will be yours to keep. We will also discuss different kinds of yarn and looms, their suitability for tapestry, and what to look for when shopping for supplies. *If you have taken a weaving class with Annette and already have a copper pipe loom, there is variable pricing available.*
