We offer 3 levels of Inkle Weaving:

The journey of Inkle (also known as band or tape) weaving from its European roots to its near extinction during the era of industrialization, underscores the resilience of traditional crafts. Mary Meigs Atwater (1878-1956), the grand dame of the revival of handweaving, played a crucial role in preserving and promoting tape weaving; bridging the past with present approaches to weaving.

Today, inkle weaving continues to be appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also as a means of connecting with history and cultural identity.

If you have never woven on an inkle loom, please sign up for the beginner class.
