Learn how to use an inkle loom to connect with crafts people through the ages as you make colorful bands that can be used for jewelry, embellishment, or even as bespoke shoelaces! Learn the history behind this style of weaving and take home your loom to continue to be able to enjoy this art. The class will cover how to warp the loom for various lengths of projects, using solid or string heddles, and then we will weft and weave our project! Levena will also go over how to read and understand patterns that can be found online.

This class is limited to 10 people due to the number of handcrafted looms available.
