In 5 short weeks, you will weave a scarf, table runner, set of placemats, or set of towels. Looms and weaving equipment are provided for a $10 fee, but let us know if you have your own rigid loom. After registering, students will contact the instructor before the first class to discuss your project and calculate the amount of appropriate yarn needed for your project.

INSTRUCTOR BIO
Lisa Elliott comes from a family of artists; her parents, siblings, husband, and children. She received her BFA degree in Graphic Design from the Rhode Island School of Design and later completed four additional semesters in weaving at UMass Dartmouth. After several years of weaving on her four-harness floor loom, where she’s currently working on rag rugs, she discovered the joy of creating wearables and home accessories on the simple rigid heddle loom. The simplicity of plain weave emphasizes color interactions. Finger-controlled techniques and the use of a pick-up stick can add subtle or dramatic textural details.
