Introduction to Weaving: Nature Weave

May 29, 2021 from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM

This class, offered in partnership our friends at The Chattery, is beginner friendly, but also enjoyable for experienced weavers that want to mix it up a little.

Participants will create a weaving using yarns and natural fibers, fabric, and cut flowers on a simple homemade frame loom. You will come away with the knowledge to continue your craft and a piece of your own work of woven wall art.  Flowers are left in and allowed to dry adding interest to the weaving

We will cover setting up our wooden frame “loom” and basic hand weaving techniques. All supplies are included in ticket price.  Feel free to bring your own flowers/greenery.

About the Instructor: Lisa Denney has been drawing and painting since the 8th grade. After ditching studies in biology, she earned a degree in art from the University of West Georgia, and that led to a career in rug and carpet design. She rented a studio in 2015 to get the rug design out of the house, and found a community and motivation to make art. She comes from a long line of women that enjoy crocheting and knitting and the awful craft of “plastic canvas.” She currently makes her home in Chattanooga with her man and her cat.
