It is so satisfying to weave your own towels- a functional piece of decor for your home! In this multi-level workshop, beginner students will have a choice of simpler patterns and will start the first class at 5:15 to warp their looms while students that have taken another weaving class or try-it weaving workshop have the option to create the color and weave patterned towels pictured. Participants get to choose the color and pattern to make their own unique cotton towel. 


Laura Ballard has been obsessed with weaving and fiber since taking a class in high school. After receiving her degree in art education, she explored fiber more while working at North Country School in Lake Placid, where she had access to a flock of sheep, spinning wheels, looms and lots of kids excited to experiment. After moving to Ithaca, Laura began teaching art at EAC Montessori with a fiber curriculum including felting, batik, natural dyeing, spinning and weaving. Laura has over 15 years of experience teaching fiber classes and is excited to share her passion for weaving with a new audience at The Clay School!
