Beyond Potholders: Workshop With Suzanne Hokanson

  • Kate Kilmurray online (map)

Suzanne Hokanson leads this very popular online workshop.

Potholder looms are hugely versatile and can be used in many different ways to create unique handwoven projects. In this workshop you will explore the possibilities of what you can create on your potholder looms using yarn, fabric and other materials; from tapestries to woven mats to combinations of woven pieces which make something larger.

Students will learn how to warp their looms and begin weaving something totally unique to them, exploring some freestyle weaving techniques. Take your weaving skills to the next level and instantly increase your crafting capabilities.  We hope you can join us on Zoom.

The workshop would suit weavers who already have basic potholder weaving skills.
