Join us for Inkle Loom Band Weaving with Barbara Long.
Come play with color and yarn while learning to thread and weave on an inkle loom. We will briefly discuss the history and uses of band weaving while introducing and move on to color, design, threading and weaving.
Weave with colors of your choice using yarn from the studio and the instructor's stash. Colors are the stars in inkle weaving. Looms may be taken home allowing students to make multiple projects during the class. Given time and interest, we will also cover pickup patterns and finishing options, including the use of hardware. Students will leave with completed band(s), instructions for warping and weaving, and a resource list for exploring further.
Learn ways to add Inkle bands to your Valentine’s celebrations

Instructor Bio:

How do I get to the Studio? From the Chinatown Gateway Garage, take the elevator to the 2nd floor and walk to the large double doors on the left. Enter the gallery and turn left; we are the last door on the left, past the kitchen. If you are parked elsewhere, walk up the steps to the DAC gift shop, go past it to find the elevator, and follow the instructions above to access the studio. There is a handicap ramp if you cannot walk up the stairs for the DAC building on the Nu'uanu entrance side. Walk towards the street lights, and you will see the ramp; you will need to walk through the courtyard to the elevator.
