PHCF’s Fiber Arts Series continues with a two-part Tapestry Workshop for Beginners led by Sofia. The workshops are on October 5th from 11:30am-1:30pm and October 26th from Noon-2pm.
Sofia will demonstrate how to warp a simple frame loom, create “butterflies” for the weft, and use inspiration from natural forms in the garden to create a small tapestry. Participants will leave with a piece that they can continue working on at home or bring to the second workshop with any questions.
All materials will be provided and the workshops are free. Everyone is welcome, so please spread the word to friends and family.
Future workshops at PHCF include knitting, quilting, and crochet. We’re open to suggestions so if there’s something you’re interested in exploring, please let us know at [email protected]!
