Join us for Basic Weaving with Joan Namkoong

Basic Weaving is open to the public and limited to four students. It is a three-day class meeting Friday through Sunday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm each day, and beginning on January 21st. 

Hawaiʻi Handweavers' Hui members receive a discounted class fee. If you are interested in becoming a member please click HERE. There will be an additional $10 supply fee payable to the instructor on the first day of class.


The class is designed for new weavers who want to understand how to set up a loom. Joan will explain how warp and weft interlace, and she will teach participants how to thread a straight draw and execute basic weaving structures like plain weave, basketweave and twill. Students will learn to determine the sett of a fiber, measure a warp and dress the loom to make it ready for weaving.

By the end of class, weavers will have a cotton sampler or a runner to take home.




What to bring: 

  • Supply fee: $10 payable to instructor
  • Small scissors
  • 6-inch ruler
  • Pencil for note taking
