Here is a description of the workshop:

Take recycling and upcycling to a new artistic level by converting old t-shirts into lovely woven table runners, placemats, or wall hangings. This is a perfect class for beginners as well as intermediate students wishing to advance their skills. Everyone will enjoy the satisfaction of elevating simple materials to elegant useful works of art. During the class we will concentrate on: learning methods for preparing and joining t-shirt rag strips; exploring weaving techniques; and discovering ways to finish projects. Students will learn how to warp and dress 4 harness looms and will enjoy witnessing the transformation from humble rag strips to beautiful woven pieces.
