Basic tapestry weaving class with Lisa Almeida

Tapestry Weaving Basics

In this class students learn the basics of contemporary tapestry weaving and how to create imagery with fiber using a simple tapestry loom.

In the one-day version, students get to whet their appetite for the art of tapestry and weave a tiny tapestry from start to finish. The multi-day version allows for deeper explorations and introduces some intermediate concepts as well.

2025 Upcoming Classes:

  • Sanborn Mills Farm, Loudon, NH – April 26 & 27
  • Kimball Jenkins School of Art, Concord NH – TBD

Community Weaving

My partner Carl and I built this loom specifically for use at the Annual League of NH Craftsmen’s Fair. All are welcome to sit at this over-sized loom and contribute to a communal tapestry. Weave as much or as little as you like – even if you’ve never woven before because I’ll be there to get you started.

Begins the first weekend of August and runs through the following Sunday~ League of New Hampshire 91st Annual Craftsmen’s Fair, Mount Sunapee, Newbury, NH
