Potholder Weaving: Mastering the Basketweave
Adult Workshop | Registration opens 8/6/2025 8:00 PM EDT
Building on the basic tabby weave, explore the design possibilities of longer “floats” which result in double-sided patterns reminiscent of traditional quilting motifs. You’ll complete both coordinating potholders in class.
- Materials fee $32.00, payable with tuition. Includes cotton loop materials, metal peg loom, and two metal hooks. Both options include printed weaving charts. Please bring a pair of embroidery scissors to snip threads.
