Specialization in 3D Textured Tapestry and Weaving Techniques

Overview

“Here I will teach you how to do a variety of basic weaving techniques. You will see how to start weaving, how to "plain" weave a flat background, turn open squares into circles and triangles in preparation for rya knotting, and, finally, how to incorporate rya knots to create dimension and texture into your weaving.”
