Woven Windows: Round Weaving Workshop with local artist Katie Knorovsky.

We are very grateful to be able to host you in a new location while the River Arts District rebuilds. The space is a renovated historic home in the Chestnut Hill area at 53 Orange Street.

Please join us for a cozy winter afternoon of texture, color and round weaving!

You are invited to spend a Saturday afternoon discovering the meditative art of circular weaving during this textural feel-good (literally) workshop. Imagine turning a beautiful sunset, mountain vista or desert landscape into a colorful weaving, using a palette of various gorgeous yarns and fibers . . .

Guided by local textile artist Katie Knorovsky, you’ll tap into your intuition to create tactile wall hangings while playing with color, manipulating textural fibers, and enjoying the therapeutic pace of weaving by hand. Learn the trick to turning any hoop into a frame loom and how to warp a round loom, including how to set up your weaving with an open center. Then we’ll explore a variety of beginner-friendly hand-weaving techniques to add texture, dimension, and organic shapes and create a one-of-a-kind wall hanging, using a range of yarn, wool, and other premium fibers.

Finally, we’ll cover finishing techniques to secure threads and prepare your artwork for displaying at home. Bring an image with a color palette that inspires you! Tear a page from a magazine, save a photo to your phone, or grab some paint chips, flowers, seashells — anything and everything is fair game.
