Inkles – warp-faced woven narrow bands – have dozens of applications, including straps, handles, trim, leashes, material for constructing larger items, and accents for other handwoven cloth. Learn to use the simple, portable inkle loom to make your own unique creations. Classes will cover reading inkle patterns, setting up the loom, and weaving. Once we have covered the basics, move on finishing, designing bands, and using some advanced techniques. Beginners and experienced weavers are welcome. No experience necessary to get started playing with the bands!

This class is online through the Lessonface platform in four weekly 2-hr sessions. The capacity for this class is 16 students. This class is presented in collaboration with the John C. Campbell Folk School. There will be an optional Orientation and Closing Ceremony hosted from the Folk School campus that students can attend online.
