Tightening Up Your Weaving with Cynthia Main

Description: A hands-on intermediate-level workshop with Cynthia Main of Sunhouse Craft. Want to make your broom weaving tighter, cleaner, and more consistent?
This class will make a plain weave and twill handle on a turkey wing. In it we will take a closer look at the details that can make a big difference in the appearance of your weaving. We will troubleshoot common problems: loose or uneven weaving, gaps, shifting materials, awkward transitions, stalk size, and any other questions that come up!
Bring your questions: broom making experience is required. Must be able to make a basic plain weave with stalks on a hand broom.
