Stick Weaving with Margaret Trousdale
Too many yarn odds and ends? Use them in a stick weaving project. It’s easy, fun, and ancient. Participants can make a colorful trivet, rug, seat cushion, pet pad, artistic fossil wall hanging, and more. Discussions will include purposes, color choices, and textures for our weavings, based on the yarns participants bring. We’ll weave and make merry. Participants will walk away from this half-day workshop with a completed or started project, a pair of weaving sticks, a needle, and a tip sheet.
This workshop is open to students age 18+ alone, and 15+ if accompanied by an adult participating in the same workshop.

Material Fee
A $17.00 materials fee is included in the registration fee, which covers tools for stick weaving for students to keep.
Students Should Bring
