Learn how to work the inkle loom from start to finish. Inkle weaving is an art that uses a smaller and simpler loom to give you long bands or belts that you can then make into almost anything. Many people use them for purse straps, guitar straps, belts, and when sewn together you can make anything from bags to blankets. This class will go over the basics of inkle weaving with the end goal of making a mug band or even a full belt if time allows.
