   Beginning Inkle Loom Weaving with Robin Wilton

  Inkle weaving is a fun way to learn about weaving without investing in expensive equipment.  An inkle loom is a portable belt loom that can be warped up in an afternoon and woven in three to four hours.  Inkle bands can be used to make belts, straps, bookmarks, ornaments and more.  

  Students in this two-day workshop will learn to warp the loom and read patterns so they can re-warp the loom on their own.  The students will be weaving by the end of the first day and can finish weaving their projects on their looms at home.  Finishing techniques will also be covered.

  Skill Requirements:  All skill levels are welcome.

  When:   March 14  1:00 PM - 5:00 PM and 

  March 15     9:00 AM - 4:00 PM     

  Location:  First Baptist Church - 1003 West Sixth St., Loveland CO (Mar. 14) and Lamms End Studio - 3001 Colt Court, Fort Collins, CO (Mar. 15)
