Card Weaving - 1pm-5pm
Dating back to the early Iron Age, card woven bands were used to create the starting and selvedge bands for warp-weighted looms. Decorative bands are also added to woven textile along the hem line, and as belts and straps. In this class we will create bands approx 3⁄8-3⁄4” wide and 24”-36” long. Students will have a variety of patterns to choose from. By the end of class, students will have the understanding, skills, and resources to continue band weaving at home. Material fee $10. Cards used in class will be available for purchase $15 for a 25 card set.
This course is a half day class offered in the morning or afternoon.

JOSIE COOKE
Josie is enamored with all things craft since childhood, when she attended programs at the local nature center making sumacade and wild blackberry jam with churn butter. In her twenties, an inordinate amount of time was spent in the pursuit of wild edibles and wild wine making, joined shortly thereafter by an insatiable interest for all things baskets. Throughout this, fiber has been the constant companion, a compendium of knowledge and experience on a slow boil. In backwards fashion, from knitting to fiber studies, to growing her own flax, the journey continues. Craft in all forms is the path to a greater connection with the earth, ourselves, and each other, all of which could use greater unity.
Each year she teaches at the Lake Superior Traditional Ways Gathering, and taught/assisted classes as an intern at North House Folk School. Currently, she occasionally renovates turn of the century houses and endeavors to have a life full of learning, teaching, and creating craft.
