Highly portable, the inkle loom is easy to use almost anywhere and strong, colorful bands can be yours in almost no time at all.

BEYOND BEGINNING INKLE WEAVING WORKSHOP

Grab your best friend, spouse, or neighbor because you are invited to create a superb carved pumpkin under the guidance of a master pumpkin carver! This workshop is led by Barry Brown who has been featured on David Letterman, The Tonight Show, Good Morning America, and movies including Hocus Pocus. We begin with a fun carving demonstration as he shares tips and insider information that will give you confidence as you and your partner carve into an already pre-scooped pumpkin. While you are having fun and carving, Barry will come around and give personalized attention and advice. To top off the evening, pumpkins will be illuminated in our plaza for the Grand Lighting Ceremony and a spook-tacular photo opportunity. So don’t forget your cameras!

In this workshop we will be working with three different pick up techniques and some variations to those. You will choose one technique to set up during class. If you want to try the other techniques you will have that opportunity on other looms. You will be given the patterns for all three patterns. If we have time we will also cover picots and a version of Rep weave. We will be warping our looms in the first part of the workshop so you don’t need to have your loom warped ahead of class.

Bring your own loom to class or use one from the studio. Prerequisite: You must know how to warp an Inkle loom in order to take this class.
