Tapestry Weaving on a Small Loom

Join textile artist Lin Qiqing for a hands-on tapestry weaving workshop. It's easy, fun, and there's no need to worry about making mistakes. You'll learn traditional and contemporary techniques while experimenting with color, pattern, and texture. Participants will be introduced to a variety of natural fibers, including wool, cotton, linen, and paper yarn. You’ll take home a woven art piece of your own. This is a beginner-friendly class, and no prior experience is required.
