The courses:
Introduction to Tapestry Weaving
This course is intended for beginners. It gives you the information you need to pick appropriate materials and tools and warp your loom. From there it uses four projects to teach some of the most important tapestry techniques. This class can also be purchased as part of a kit from Gist Yarn which includes warp and weft yarn and a tapestry loom.
Tapestry Discovery Box
This class is a subscription product run in collaboration with Gist Yarn. It is a quarterly box which includes 7 tubes of Gist Array tapestry yarn and a course from Rebecca. You need to know some tapestry basics before diving into this class (taking Introduction to Tapestry Weaving will get you there!). This fun class focuses on a new technique each quarter using the colors from Gist and includes community interaction in the online course as well as feedback and help from Rebecca.
Design Solutions for the Artist/Weaver, Season 1
When you understand how tapestry works and have some of the basics under control, the next question is, how do I get ideas for designs and how do I translate those into tapestries that express my ideas? This online experience is presented in “seasons” of content with new information each month.
Design Solutions for the Artist/Weaver, Season 2
Design Solutions for the Artist/Weaver, Season 2 is a continuation of Season 1. In this class we’ll continue to explore how to think like a tapestry weaver when weaving and designing. I recommend taking Season 1 first.
Fringeless: Four Selvedge Warping with Sarah C. Swett and Rebecca Mezoff
This course teaches you step by step how to be successful with four selvedge warping for tapestry. This method of warping allows you to create a tapestry that has no fringe or hems while having a full weaving shed for the whole piece. The course is also full of weaving tips from Sarah Swett. This course assumes basic tapestry weaving knowledge.
Warp and Weft: Learning the Structure of Tapestry
This comprehensive course is intended for people who are beginners or who want a review of the foundational techniques. If you are new to tapestry and want a comprehensive overview of tapestry technique and practice, start here.
Color Gradation Techniques for Tapestry
In this course for advanced-beginner to intermediate students, we explore ways to move and blend color in tapestry. It is a great class to take after Warp and Weft.
Weaving Tapestry on Little Looms
Intrigued by little looms? This course explores using small looms to make small tapestries! Lots of fun for everyone. This has been my most popular class. If you’re someone who wants to learn the basics of tapestry techniques on small looms, this is the class for you.
Dyeing with Acid Wool Dye
Want to make any color you want for any fiber craft in a way that means you can predict what you’ll get and make that color again? This class will teach you how to do that.
Summer of Tapestry
Note: This class runs every summer. The past years are available to take at any time and the content is different each year. Currently 2022 and 2023 are available.
This class is a wonderfully informal and somewhat sneaky way of tackling designing for tapestry weaving. You’ll be encouraged to find inspiration around you, pull elements from that thing or event and simplify them, and then weave small, quick tapestries in response.
