Saturday, May 16, 10am-4pm

Join us for an in-depth workshop exploring the art of fabric weaving to create a magical tumbling block texture.

During your time in the studio, you’ll learn how to prepare, weave, and finish fabric strips to create a dimensional woven block sample. Your finished piece could become a quilted wall hanging, tote bag, placemat, or the beginning of an even larger project.

This workshop includes five hours of hands-on instruction, plus a one-hour lunch break. Students should plan to bring lunch or purchase food off-site.

Some specialty materials will be provided by the instructor. Students will bring a few basic supplies listed below.

A small amount of cutting preparation is required before class. No sewing machine required.

Class size is limited to six students.

Level:

• Confident Beginner (Adults and teens ages 14+)

You Will Need:

• Full box of pins, preferably flat-head pins. (These may bend during the weaving process.)
• Fabric scissors or thread snips/small scissors (Also available in the studio.)
• Three fat quarters or quarter-yard cuts in:
  • one dark fabric
  • one medium fabric
  • one light fabric
• Optional extra fabric if you’d like to expand your woven piece into a future project
• Lunch (Water provided. Refrigeration not available at the shop.)

Your Teacher:

Tina van Roggen discovered the joy of sewing when she was 9 years old. By the time she was 12, her parents got her a sewing machine because she was using her mom's machine so much to make clothes for fun. Today, Tina works in quilting, bag-making, and fabric weaving, and is actively involved in several local quilt guilds.
