Ikat is the technique in which yarn is tied and dyed before weaving. In warp ikat, the technique is applied only to the warp. Setting up the warp on the loom requires elaborate and precise work, but once this is accomplished, weaving is simple and quick.

Classes meet on four consecutive Saturdays: May 4, 11, 18, and 25, 11 am – 2 pm. Students enrolled in this class can schedule free open studio time outside of class during the weeks of their enrollment.

A quick note: We will take advantage of the warm weather in May and dye our warps outdoors in indigo once they are tied.
