Circular Weaving Workshop
Reduce stress - increase focus - learn a new way to relax and have fun.
Participants will learn to weave in the round. The finished project can be hung as an ornament or, depending on the yarns chosen, be used as a coaster.
Participants will learn:
- warping the loom
- tabby stitch
- changing colors
- weaving in ends
No weaving experience required. All materials will be supplied for use during the workshop.
Weaving can be beneficial in so many ways:
- because it simultaneoulsy uses both the dominant and non-dominate hand, weaving promotes hand-eye coordination, visual tracking, and awareness of spacial concepts
- slow, repetive motion promotes relaxation
- improves fine motor skills and strengthens muscles used for pincer grip
- improves focus and sustained concentration
