Carnegie Hall’s Fall Classes & Workshops feature new weaving workshops taught by teaching artist Barbara Volk. Basic Hand-Woven Tapestries and Hand-Woven Tapestries with Beads will take place on Saturday, Nov. 16. It is suggested that students take the basic class before enrolling in Tapestries with Beads. Students must be 12 years of age or older and class size is limited.
The first workshop of the day, Basic Hand-Woven Tapestries, takes place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. In this fun beginner level class, students will learn how to build a simple tapestry loom from cardboard. A simple bookmark project will introduce participants to the basic weaving process, before proceeding to the design and creation of a small tapestry. All materials will be provided, no prior weaving experience required.
From 2 to 4 p.m., Hand-Woven Tapestries with Beads will build on the Basic Tapestry workshop foundation to explore the addition of including accent beads to hand woven tapestries. Participants are encouraged to take the Basic Tapestry class prior to enrolling, although it is not required. A limited selection of weaving materials and beads will be available in class, and participants are welcome to bring their own special items to be included in their project.
Registration cost is $45 per class for members and $55 per class for nonmembers. To register or for a complete list of classes and workshops visit carnegiehallwv.org/classes-and-workshops or pick up a Classes & Workshops brochure at 611 Church Street, Lewisburg.
