Anything can be a thread and anyone can be weaver. This class is designed for anyone who has a desire to weave in a creative and artistic way of making. The instruction will focus on methods for warping and weaving with a frame loom, and traditional tapestry weaving techniques. Gather mixed materials from nature or in your home. We will create one-of-a-kind tiny tapestries with these unconventional materials, asking ourselves what can be a thread?

Jones, Noelani

As a community-building artist, Jones believes anyone can be a weaver and anything can be a thread. Currently, she lives in the eastern foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Maryland on her folks land, truly known as Piscataway lands, raising pygora goats. Jones is represented by TAG The Artists Gallery, a co-op art gallery in downtown Frederick, MD and is an Educational Events & Programs Technician for the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, VA. She also spends time each week as a Director of Social Media at the Weavers Guild of Greater Baltimore, bringing weavers, spinners, and the community together since 1948.
