Introduction to Pin Loom Weaving with Dagmar Frerking
April 20, 2019: This month's program will be an introduction to Pin Loom Weaving. It will look at different types of looms, including how to make your own, and the two basic types of pin loom weaving: the regular 4-step vs. continuous strand weaving. We will also look at how to achieve patterning and finally at ideas on what all can be made out of pin loom weavings. I would like to ask everyone who has a pin loom to please bring it, as well as any weavings you have done on it. |
