    Join us for Sewing 101 with Kye Harford

    This entry-level sewing class is geared towards ones that want to start sewing as a hobby or up their sewing skills and looking to skip the hassle of spending hours reading the operation manual or watching YouTube tutorials only to be frustrated and lose motivation.

    This class covers:
    - operating a sewing machine and its basic functions
    - purposes & uses of the different stitch types
    straight stitching
    - basic machine maintenance

      Join us for Boro Sashiko with Kye Harford.

      Celebrate sustainability, creativity, and history through Boro Sashiko, a traditional Japanese textile practice that transforms worn fabrics into works of art. “Boro” means “tattered” or “repaired,” and when combined with Sashiko stitching—a form of decorative reinforcement—it becomes a meditative, layered technique for mending, patching, and beautifying textiles.

      In this class, participants will learn how to piece together fabric scraps using simple running stitches to create richly textured surfaces that honor imperfection and resourcefulness. Students will explore traditional and modern approaches to Boro, experiment with composition and color, and complete a small textile piece suitable for display, clothing repair, or home décor.
      The supply fee will include all supplies but feel free to bring scraps of fabrics you’d like to use.

      What to bring:

      • $10 Supply fee
      • Scissors
      • Fabric scraps (optional)

            “I’m a 55-year-old jewelry enthusiast with a long love for crafting. By day, I work in the medical supply field, but my true creative joy comes from making beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces. Over the years, I’ve explored many forms of jewelry making, from intricate wire wrapping with crystals and shells to colorful macramé designs. Recently, macramé earrings have become one of my favorite ways to combine texture, color, and artistry—and I can’t wait to share my passion and techniques with you.” -Nikki Chen

              Join us for Rigid Heddle Weaving with Reina Young

              This class introduces new weavers to the portable rigid heddle loom. Weavers have the option to create a scarf, table runner, or placemats. We will go over different pattern techniques, play with color palettes, experiment with various fibers, and learn how to warp and dress the loom.

              The rigid heddle loom is essentially a rectangular, wooden frame loom. However, it differs from the simple frame looms that are now readily available and often used for tapestry, as it has space for a heddle/reed, making it capable of producing sheds (gaps or spaces) to weave through. It is a 2 shaft loom, but has further reaching capabilities.

              This class is open to any skill level. There will be an additional supply fee of $20, to include yarn and weaving tools, payable to the instructor on the first day of class. All supplies and materials will be provided. 

              What to Bring: 

              • $20 supply fee

                Join us for Basic Loom Weaving with Jill Cohen and Jo Hittner

                A basic class for people who want to learn how to set up a loom and weave cloth. On the first day, you will set up a 4 shaft table loom: measuring a warp and beaming it on the loom, threading the heddles, sleying the reed and tying on to the front beam. Then you’ll weave cloth – plain weave, twill, basket weave and more.

                On day two you will continue your weaving exploration so you can take home handwoven cloth that you’ve made from start to finish.   



                • 4 shaft table loom will be provided for each student as well as all equipment needed for loom setup.
                • All supplies and equipment for this class will be provided and is included in the cost of the class

                  Join Us for Sashiko-Ori with Beth Ross Johnson

                  Sashiko is the Japanese folk stitching method traditionally used to patch, reinforce, repair or embellish clothing and other textiles. Sashiko-ori (ori means to weave) is a woven structure based on sashiko.

                  Sashiko-ori is based on the hitomezashi style of Japanese sashiko stitching, running stitches that form a grid of straight lines that meet or cross to make a design. In weaving, this weave structure uses a supplementary warp and weft incorporated with plain weave to form the intersecting “stitches” that make the pattern. Basic possibilities have been mined in weaving traditions from Peru, Japan and Europe. Learn about the history and structure of this weave and how to take design work a step further.

                  Sashiko-ori challenges weavers to think about design in a different way while learning to control the intersections of pattern threads in the warp and weft. Simple versions of this technique are understandable for weavers with less experience. Weavers with more experience will enjoy exploring a new way of thinking about the intersection of warp and weft.

                  Skill Level

                  Workshop attendees will use the multi-shaft looms in the Hawai'i Handweavers' Hui studio and must know how to beam and thread a warp from back to front, read a draft and work a floor loom with 6 shafts.

                  Supplies & Equipment

                  Workshop fee includes all warp and weft materials. All other basic weaving supplies for this workshop (scissors, sley hooks, etc) are the responsibility of the participant. A supply and equipment list will be sent upon registration.

                  Registration

                  This weaving workshop is open to the public from age 18.

                  Your registration will be confirmed once you have paid online by credit card. 

                  Cancellations made through March 6, 2026 will receive a full refund. If you cancel after March 6 there will be no refund unless there is a waiting list and someone can take your place. If the workshop is cancelled by Hawai'i Handweavers' Hui, a full refund will be issued to those registered.

                  Instructor Bio

                  Beth Ross Johnson is a weaver, teacher and workshop leader living in Black Mountain, North Carolina. She grew up in Charleston, South Carolina and when she became interested in weaving and textile arts, she learned initially from students of Norman Kennedy, later studying with him for many workshops. A lifelong fascination with Asian art led to an interest in Japanese textiles and she has had two extensive stays in Japan to study kasuri (ikat weaving and dyeing) and sakiori (rag weaving) with master weavers there.

                  Other avenues of exploration have been sashiko stitching and nyoho-e (Zen stitching). Recent studies have been in the ikat traditions of Europe, influenced by the 18th century wave of Orientalism on the continent, and woven structures like sashiko-ori and kasuri-ori that mimc hand stitching and ikat processes. 

                  The craft schools, weather, and music compelled a move to western North Carolina in 1980 where she has worked a number of arts-related jobs (including in environmental and craft preservation in Cherokee) while maintaining a studio and teaching in formal and informal institutions.

                  Join us for Sakiori with Beth Ross Johnson

                  Based on the recycling traditions of Japanese textiles, saki (to rip up) ori (to weave) is the rag weaving tradition of Japan used to make a lighter weight fabric than the rag rugs we are used to.

                  Rag weaving in Japan increased in popularity after the beginning of the 17th century. Cotton rags were used to reinforce clothing and were later torn into strips and woven. Later styles developed that used silk strips from kimono that took advantage of the patterns on the cloth to create ikat like effects. This workshop will look at the idea of using rags to make cloth for clothing and domestic textiles as opposed to rugs, emphasizing lighter weight textiles.

                  This workshop will focus on using silk rags for color and weave effects and paying attention to the construction of the cloth. Learn ways to manage long strips of rag, exploit design possibilities of stripes or pattern on the rags and control the density of rag fabric. By carefully controlling printed or striped fabrics, we can use rags as if they were ikat threads to make pattern in the cloth that goes beyond hit and miss patterns.

                  There are several different phases of Japanese rag weaving. We will talk about all of them but we will be basing this project on some 20th century ways of designing and weaving rags using a cotton warp and silk rags. A history of Japanese rag rug weaving and an overview of rag weaving for cloth from other parts of the world such as Acadian and Scandinavian traditions will be covered for continued inspiration.

                  Zanshi (leftovers) uses leftover threads and thrums for weaving and is an excellent way to use up some of your stash, putting odds and ends together.

                  Skill Level 

                  Participants must be familiar with weaving on a multi-shaft loom.

                  Equipment & Supplies

                  Participants must bring their own pre-warped multi-shaft looms. All looms must be warped before the workshop begins; participants supply their own warp and weft materials. Instructions, supply and equipment list will be sent upon registration. All basic weaving supplies for this workshop are the responsibility of the participant. Instructor will have some weft materials available for purchase for $5.

                  Four 4-shaft Erica table looms are available for rent; select the "Rent" option during registration. Cost is $25 for members, $35 for non members; available for pickup one week prior to workshop.

                  Note: Friday, March 27 room set up begins at 8:30 am and class begins at 9:30.
