This 2-day class is a start-to-finish beginning weaving experience on a 4-shaft table loom.  The first day, students are guided through measuring out a warp, beaming the warp, sleying the reed, and threading the heddles.  The first few rows of weaving will be complete before the end of the day.  The looms go home along with students with instructions for weaving a sampler between the classes.  Support is available between the classes.  On the second day, the samplers are completed and we take a step back to get an introduction to project planning and drafting.
