Weaving returns to LREF.

Stop by the Artists Market Place this afternoon and watch Frances Richardson re-warp the Tusing Loom. Frances would love to explain her process and how warping a loom unlocks unlimited possibilities for creating handmade fabrics. She is knowledgeable in nineteenth and early twentieth century farmhouse weaving.

Special thanks to our sponsor community and a generous grant from the Hardy County Tour & Crafts Association for making this project possible.
