Description

Branch Weaving uses a handmade forked branch as a loom! Learn relaxing weaving techniques -- you'll come away with an original work of art. Choose your own color palette from a large assortment of fibers, suiting your personal taste and decor. All materials are provided, however, bringing any objects* or fibers of your own will enhance your art and make it more personal. (*Lace, yarns, feathers, grasses, flowers with stems, beads.) This workshop is great for beginners and all levels, especially those that think they are not creative. You can DO this! Bring a friend, or meet new ones. It's sooo relaxing* *Feel free to bring your favorite beverage ;) outdoors in the garden, weather permitting.

Barbara co-founded Back Gate Studio in Los Angeles, CA, in 2008, providing children with art classes to expand their creative horizons beyond the schools. In 2010, her family and the Studio relocated to beautiful Boise, ID. In addition to creating her own art, she teaches kids and adults at various locations in the Boise area. "Our Idaho landscape encourages me to explore natural materials, combining branches, stones, clay, and fibers in my fiber art. I enjoy the challenge of using interesting combinations of materials, textures, and color." You can check out her work (some for purchase), and that of her students, on Instagram and Facebook: Back Gate Studio Boise.
