Learn the fundamentals of tapestry weaving by making a small (up to 10" x 10") wall hanging! Topics covered include looms, warp, fibers, basic techniques, and finishing. You can bring your own yarn (worsted or chunky weight) or buy yarn from the instructor for an extra $10. A $50 fee is to be paid to the instructor at the start of class for a 10" loom and warp string (cash or check only). The class is held at Bobbie’s studio at 73 High St, Thomaston, the studio is on the second floor of her red garage which requires going up a set of outside stairs. Instructor Bobbie Tilkens-Fisher purchased a child’s frame loom in the summer of 2017 and taught herself how to weave. She promised herself that once she’d made at least ten solid weavings she would buy a “real” loom. Soon her collection of looms and fibers grew large enough to take over a spare bedroom. By manipulating or plain out ignoring some of the traditions of tapestry weaving, she arrived at a style that is all her own—sculptural, vivid, and flowing. She now dedicates her career to weaving and teaching others her craft.
