Learn about and experience the process of “How to Set Up a Simple Weaving Project,” and see if this is a craft that you might enjoy. Students may use our table looms or bring their own table or rigid heddle loom to class. Students wishing to use our looms will learn about the process of preparing the loom before weaving on a prepared loom to make a 3-4” wide bookmark or art treasure in this workshop. Students who bring their own looms will set them up in class for completion at home (using the instructor’s pre-made warp). All participants will learn different methods, patterns and finishing tips. The instructor will contact students prior to class to discuss plans. Beginners and those with some experience can repeat this class for continued learning opportunities.

Hewitt Towsley, Jan

I have operated my Anderson Alley Studio since 1989, specializing in weaving and textile art for use in homes and businesses. Creating with varied fibers and materials has been the focus in my work. I earned my BFA in Weaving and Textile Design from RIT in 1988, where I created damask-woven fabrics with Plexiglas forms. I’ve continued to work with materials for three-dimensional play. Weaving and embroidering with wire, using traditional fiber techniques, is an important segment of my work. I enjoy the complex images and the sculptural effects as well as the natural beauty of copper and brass. I create a variety of hand woven items for sale--commissioned work, craft/art shows, shops, and the Oxford Gallery. Some of my work can be seen at Strong Memorial Hospital and the Summit at Brighton. I also work as a visiting artist in area schools and enjoy teaching adults and youth.
