Online Course—Floor Loom Weaving: Inlay Pillows

Learn all about weaving with inlay and make a set of pillows along the way. Together, we will explore three different types of inlay: plain weave inlay, Theo Moorman inlay, and a patterned inlay.

This is the perfect project to advance your skills. You should be comfortable warping a loom, reading a weaving draft, and have some previous weaving experience. This is not a course for an absolute beginner, but if you have some experience under your belt, this course will challenge you in new ways.
