Handwoven bands have been used for centuries as belts, trim for garments, cords for jewelry, bag straps and even shoelaces – and they make great collars and leashes!
This is an introductory class on weaving bands on an inkle loom, and is suitable for adults and kids age 8 and older, accompanied by an adult.
Students will learn the parts of this tabletop loom and then warp it, make heddles, and weave. Inkle bands are quite strong and can be used anywhere a flat band is needed. How will you use yours?
Class will be held on Sunday, November 15, 2026 from 2 – 5 pm.
It’s so popular, we have added another session! This class will be repeated on Sunday, December 6, 2026 from 2 – 5 pm. Click on the date below to register.
There are a limited number of inkle looms available for use in class, so people are encouraged to bring their own.
Note that Guild-owned looms will need to have projects removed at the end of class, but participants with their own looms can of course finish weaving at home.
