Learn how to rag weave a cell phone case with Joe Lewis! Join us for this beginner friendly hands-on workshop designed for the weaving curiosity and those starting out on their weaving journey. In this workshop we will explore upcycling, the fundamentals to weaving and setting up your own loom from cardboard to sewing it together. Through our guided time together you will make a woven cell phone case with the options to customize the case.
No prior experience is required, and materials are provided. This class provides a supportive, beginner-friendly environment to build a foundation in weaving and upcycling so participants can feel confident to make other handmade weavings!
Joe Lewis has been inspired by the rich conversations with participants and observers who share their personal experiences, knowledge and insights – this is what drives Joe to pass on weaving and fabric upcycling skills.
What We’ll Cover:
- Easy cutting into continuous strips
- Optional instructions for sewing strips into tubes for a smooth finish
- Setting warp around the cardboard loom
- Weaving 101
- Backing a weaving and adding embellishments and closure
