Instructor: Romy Anderson

Wednesdays: October 22nd, 29th + November 5th, 12th & 19th |  6–9pm

Interested in learning how to create your own cloth? Or do you already have a loom at home but have no idea where to start? In this 5 week course you will learn how to transform thread into cloth via a floor loom. During the first few weeks you will learn how to calculate materials needed to set up a warp, familiarize yourself with the loom, and dress it for weaving. The second half of the class is devoted to weaving and experimenting with color & pattern (through loom manipulation and hand manipulation). Intended for absolute beginners, no prior experience is required. Students have Open Studio access for the duration of the class (Wednesdays and Sundays 12-4pm & Mondays 4-8pm). Some time spent weaving outside of class is typical to complete your project. All materials included. 

 Instructor Bio: Romy Anderson is a textile artist based out of Northeast Ohio and attended Kent State University obtaining a BFA in Textiles. Romy has always had a love for visual arts, math, and color. Weaving turned out to be the perfect combination of these passions. Specializing in double weave with painted warps, Romy delves into the fundamental grid created by the loom. Drawing from architecture and travel, her weavings also explore the interaction of color while deconstructing the illusionistic aspect of spaces. In addition to her personal practice, Romy is an Instructor and Studio Manager at Praxis Fiber Workshop.
