Repurposing & Weaving: A Perfect Pair

Weaving and repurposing are like peanut butter & jelly! They naturally fit together to create something new and wonderful - while simultaneously helping save the planet! What more could you want?

In this special class, we'll explore the following:

  • why a loom is the perfect vehicle for transforming old clothing and accessories into something new and wonderful
  • what items can and can't be repurposed in your weaving project
  • suggested techniques for preparing and utilizing repurposed items
  • special considerations for your repurposed project

Chris Acton, with Acton Creative, is teaching this unique class from the perspective of a multi-shaft loom weaver. But, the concepts and techniques can be applied to any weaver working on any loom (frame, rigid heddle, table, floor, 4-shaft, 8-shaft, etc.). 

All students will receive access to the complete class video, along with 2 helpful downloadable aids - the Idea Sheet, and the Repurpose Formula. 

This is a perfect class for the weaver interested in a little inspiration, some new ideas, and ways to be kinder to Mother Earth.
