    Nice class and location to get to. Was able to finish one scarf project and warp up for a second one. This class really helps to have the encouragement of the teacher while you will make mistakes but have the instruction on how to prevent and fix mistakes. I need the hands on and it helped me a lot.

Best Weaving Classes in Los Angeles

Weaving is an old craft that can be traced back to the Neolithic times. Today it can be done by hand or using a machine, and most of our textile needs are supplied by commercially woven cloth via machine. Some still make cloth using hand looms and keep the traditions of early weavers alive. 

Weaving involves taking two sets of yarn and interlacing them at right angles to form fabric. It can be summarized as a repetition of shedding, picking, and beating up or battening. A long time ago, handloom weavers were mostly men because of the strength needed to batten, and power loom weavers were usually girls and young women. 

Weaving can have more than one vertical or horizontal element, and the fabric that is created usually looks two-dimensional but is actually a three-dimensional form. 

Weaving can teach individuals a lot about life, as it is a process full of lessons. Once individuals master weaving, they can create wall hangings, pouches, necklaces, placemats, and much more.

Why You Should Learn Weaving in Los Angeles
