WEEKLY WEAVING May 14 – June 18 (6 weeks)

Instructor: Margot Becker

Time: 1.00 pm – 4.00 pm

This six-week weaving course begins with an introduction to floor loom mechanics and the creation of a sampler to explore weaving fundamentals. The second half focuses on individual projects, where students design and weave their own textile piece with instructor support. Through hands-on experience, students will learn how tension, sett, pattern drafting, threading, and treadling interact to create textiles. All skill levels are welcome, with instruction tailored to beginners and independent work for experienced weavers.

Margot Becker is an artist, weaver, and educator based in Hudson, New York. Through tactile processes she explores sense of place, the natural environment, and the connection between the Individual and the Communal subconscious. Her work has been exhibited in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston. Margot Becker has attended residencies at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, ACRE, Mildred’s Lane, Rabbit Island and AZ West. She received her BA in studio art from Bard College in 2009 and her MFA from California College of the Arts in 2020 where she was awarded the Edwin Anthony & Adelaine Boudreaux Cadogan Scholarship and the Toni A.
