Freestyle Tapestry Weaving with Tori Hanna

October 25, 9-1 pm
Senior Center, 205 Main St. W., Battle Lake

With this kind of weaving we use the basic rules but we bend and stretch them. We say, “I want to do this!”, and we do it. We push the weaving around, we beat it up and down, we put in colour as we go, we use all kinds of yarns. And we love the process. This is a perfect course for those interested in creating a piece using all those remaining half-used skeins of yarn you can't part with. Loom provided.
