An enthusiastic group participated in the Tapestry class taught by Gerry Woodhouse on April 6 & 7 at Guild House. Using stretcher frames, the group learned how to warp, weave a header and work through several techniques to achieve their design goals. Then Gerry demonstrated a simple but elegant way to mount and display a tapestry. Check out the photos of student work.
