Introduction to Tapestry Weaving
Welcome to the wonderful world of tapestry weaving! This course is your introduction. It was designed to give you the very basics of tapestry weaving and get you started creating in this exciting medium.
Tapestry weaving is a fun art form in which we use yarn to create images. It is based on a simple plain-weave structure. This combination of simple structure and multi-colored yarns allows creation of a huge range of images and effects. It is also a lot of fun to do!
In this course, Introduction to Tapestry Weaving, you’ll start by learning some of the core weaving concepts:
how to warp a simple loom,
how to make a header,
shedding and bubbling.
Then you have three projects to practice your skills including:
meet and separate,
hatching,
making and sewing slits,
creating square and rectangular forms.
And finally a bonus project that introduces you to weaving diagonals. Then you’ll learn about ending your tapestry, taking it off the loom, and finishing your piece.
Summer of Tapestry 2025
Spark your creativity this summer.
Summer of Tapestry is a fun hands on weaving experience to keep your creative practice flowing – even with all the interruptions of summer adventures.
For many years I’ve been taking a notebook and loom with me as I wander outside in the summer.
In this multi-week workshop I want to encourage you to go on your own adventures and document them through small, informal tapestries.
We’ll focus on finding inspiration in our environment, whether that is in your home, out your window, on a trip, or in your neighborhood. Then I’ll give you ideas on how to translate your experiences into small tapestries. You can weave “in the field” or you can document your adventures with a camera or pencil and do the weaving later.
Registration is open!

Fringeless: Four-Selvedge Warping with Sarah C. Swett
Taught by master tapestry artist, Sarah C. Swett, Fringeless: Four Selvedge Warping is a unique opportunity to learn how to warp and weave tapestry in this fun way while getting all of Sarah's inside weaving tips.
You'll see Rebecca in this course presenting information about various looms, giving her two cents about tapestry weaving, and generally keeping the camera rolling.
This online class will teach you how to warp a loom so that when you are finished weaving, there is no fringe and no hem. This warping method is often called four selvedge warping.
This is not a beginning tapestry class. It is assumed that you have warped a loom for tapestry before and that you know basic tapestry techniques.

About Rebecca
Rebecca Mezoff is the author of The Art of Tapestry Weaving. She is a committed wanderer and finds inspiration for her tapestries all around her.
There is something that grabbed me about weaving from the first time I saw my grandparents weaving on their big floor looms. I grew up in New Mexico where there are many weaving traditions and after some career detours, I landed on weaving. First it was a hobby and eventually it became my career. I am my best self when I’m teaching or weaving and it makes me happy to share the joy with other people. You can read more about me on the ABOUT page of this website.
