Class format and activities
Beginners will warp up a frame and progress to weave a sampler. More advanced students will be encouraged to weave a tapestry on a larger scale, perhaps using more unusual materials and techniques. All students are encouraged to develop their own creativity, and since all levels work in the same studio they benefit from each others' shared advice and skills.
Entry requirements
No previous experience of tapestry is necessary but an interest in drawing or design is helpful.
