Learn how to build your own portable inkle loom, and then learn how to weave with it - this one day workshop covers it all!

Inkle looms are designed specifically for weaving narrow bands, used for thousands of years for decoration, utility, and beautiful expressions of regional identity across all cultures of the world in the form of traditional dress belts, sashes, and headbands, laces, trims, horse reins, and bag and musical instrument straps.You’ll learn how to build your own loom from scratch using hand tools and common materials from the hardware store. You’ll learn to bore holes, assemble, glue, screw, and finish, and even make your own dowels.

After a break, you’ll then learn the basics of weaving on your loom, including warping, making heddles, and reading patterns. You’ll have time to create at least one bracelet-length band and leave with practical skills for continuing to set up and weave independently.

No prior experience required.
Suitable for ages 16+.
