What You'll Learn

In this certificate, the art of weaving will be taught from shearing the sheep to the finished shawl.

Explore the realm of texture, color and design – where the single yarn can be transformed into a tapestry of possibility. Learn to weave patterns that speak to the soul, craft colors that embrace our emotions, and bring pieces to life that elevate the reception of woven art.

You will learn the history of weaving, from the Indigenous weave style of the Coast Salish to modern and contemporary designs. The coursework explores different types of wool that can be woven and the unique qualities they each bring to the loom.
