SUMMARY:Make in Public Day
DESCRIPTION:Connect with other makers at this year’s Make in Public Day in Old Town\, Alexandria! We have a full schedule of events and treats to celebrate all the Makers in our lives. \nMake in Public Day is a vibrant\, community-wide celebration of creativity and craft. Originally launched 16 years ago as a small local meet-up for World Wide Knit in Public Day\, the event has grown into a beloved tradition that drew over 350 participants last year. \nMakers of all kinds—knitters\, crocheters\, painters\, potters\, and more—are invited to bring their works-in-progress and create together in public. \nTips for this event:\nWe have some seating and will also have tents to provide shade cover. However\, we always recommend that you bring your own seating – lawn chair\, cushion\, blanket\, etc. Sunscreen and water are always a good idea. We have amazing neighbors this year open to provide food and beverages! Call Your Mother\, Goodies\, Midnight Treats\, La Fromagerie and Eddie’s Little Shop & Deli. \nGift with purchase! We will have a special custom Shelli.Can sticker for everyone who makes a purchase of $30 or more during the event. \n \nWin a prize with our custom Plinko game! We’ll have prizes like 200 rewards points\, $10 off\, or a Shelli Can sticker of your choice! (A great time to plan out those summer knits!) \nWe’ll have some very special guests this year: alpacas! Our friends at Alpaca Lane will bring their alpaca experience to Prince Street\, so everyone can have their own fuzzy encounter. \n \nFibre alumni and staff instructors Jillian and Kerry will be running Fit Check workshops so you can learn how to understand sizing and take the best measurements for a garment that works. They’ll also help with taking your measurements\, and you will leave with a schematic of your own measurements to assist in future garment-making. \nBe sure to sign up for a time slot\, there are limited spaces at each time. \nFit Check registration:\n\nnoon – 1:30 pm\n2 – 3:30 pm\n4-5:30 pm

SUMMARY:Weekend Weaving Retreat with Liz Gipson: Lace Blocks
DESCRIPTION:If you want to take your basic weaving skills to the next level\, join us for an immersive weaving weekend on the rigid-heddle loom with the incredible Liz Gipson! If you plan on completing the Weaving Fundamentals course on Friday\, this weekend workshop is a perfect follow-up. Saturday and Sunday: Lace Blocks \nAlthough the term “pick-up stick” brings to mind picking up lots of ends\, in the rigid-heddle world you pick up the ends once and leave the stick in place to create interlacements common to complex looms. These kinds of pick-up patterns can be used to create texture or lace. We will focus on the latter\, using fine yarns and a sett that allows the yarns to move after washing to create holes with purpose. \nWeaving lace allows you to create wearables\, but also household goods such as table linens\, curtains\, and wall hangings. Even if lace is not your jam\, understanding the fundamentals of using a pick-up stick paired with yarn spacing to get you the results you want is powerful information. A special focus will be on working with cellulose yarns and mastering a light “beat”. If you took last year’s workshop\, this workshop will be similar\, but with an added bonus of learning how to intersperse blocks of plain weave and lace. \n\n\nThis is a two-day workshop\, 9 am – 4 pm. Each session will be 6 hours of instruction with a 1-hour lunch break.  \n\n\nTools and Supplies\n\n Rigid-Heddle Loom with at least a 10-inch weaving width\n10-dent rigid-heddle\nthreading hook (included with loom)\nclamps (included with loom)\nwarping peg (included with loom)\nembroidery needle\nscissors\ntape measure\nTwo-Day Workshop requires a pick-up stick at least 10-inches long\, but not exceeding your loom’s weaving width.\n\nYarn\n\nTwo different colors of Kelbourne Woolens Mojave. High value contrast is recommended. \n\n\nPlease note: We have a limited number of looms and materials on order for this weekend workshop event. Be sure to order yours early.

SUMMARY:Weaving Fundamentals with Liz Gipson - Gradient Scarflette
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a rigid-heddle experience over Memorial Day weekend. With the powerful\, yet approachable\, rigid-heddle loom\, Liz will offer a one-day workshop exploring the fundamentals of weaving and a two-day workshop on the basics of loom-controlled lace. These workshops are for adventurous beginners and anyone who is interested in deepening their skills at the loom. Special attention will be paid to basic know-how\, making the most of pooling\, challenges and opportunities of working with wool vs cellulose yarns\, and the ways yarns deflect off the loom\, a basis for lace. \n\n\n\nFriday Day: Weaving Fundamentals—Gradient Scarflet \n\nThis day is for the new weaver. Participants will warp and weave a scarflet and learn how to work a lattice fringe. We will cover the basics of project planning\, sett or the spacing of the yarns and setting up the loom. Then we will dive into weaving and finishing strong with lots of tips\, techniques\, and belly laughs along the way.
