Learn to weave tapestry with me online at the School of SweetGeorgia!
I have launched two comprehensive tapestry workshops with the School of SweetGeorgia (SOS) which are perfect for beginner or beyond beginner students.
In my first course, we begin with tapestry terms, tools and supplies. You will learn about different tapestry loom options, the pros and cons of each as well as a tutorial on how to build and warp up a PVC tapestry loom. Then we move on to making three projects which each cover new fundamental techniques that will set you up for success in creating your own woven artworks after the course is done.
In my second course, Techniques in Tapestry, we cover three kinds of stripes including horizontal stripes and two kinds of vertical stripes, as well as double weft interlock, and how to block your tapestry.
That's over four hours of comprehensive tapestry weaving instruction! With an all-access School of SweetGeorgia membership, you get access to all my courses and the entire library of SOS textile art lessons.
Membership starts at $19USD/month.
