Unplug & Create: Modern Potholder Weaving for Tweens & Teens with Ash
Ditch the screens and get your hands on some color! This isn't your grandma’s rainy-day craft—we’re taking the classic potholder loom and giving it a massive, modern upgrade.
In this fast-paced, high-energy workshop designed specifically for tweens and teens (ages 11–17), we will be using premium, heavy-duty Friendly Looms™ Loop Looms to weave bold, chunky, and functional textile art. Whether you want to make a retro neon trivet for your room, a geometric hot pad for the kitchen, or a unique woven bag, this class will teach you how to design like a pro.
What You’ll Learn & Do:
-
Loom Mastery: Learn how to warp and weave on the sturdy, professional-grade Friendly Looms™ system (no flimsy plastic pegs here!).
-
Color Theory & Pattern Design: Master how to map out eye-catching patterns, from trendy checkerboards and chevrons to bold color blocks and ombré gradients.
-
The Perfect Finish: Learn the crucial trick to chaining the loops off the loom so your edges look clean, tight, and professional.
Why Friendly Looms™?
We use authentic Friendly Looms™ and their custom-sized, 100% cotton loops. Why does that matter?
-
They don’t melt: Unlike cheap synthetic loops, these are pure cotton—meaning your finished potholders are actually heat-resistant and fully functional in the kitchen.
-
Vibrant Colors: No boring, muted tones. We’ll have a massive "buffet" of bright, rich colors to choose from so your project matches your personal style.
