Saori Weaving: A One-Day Workshop with Chiaki O'Brien
There's no "beginner" or "advanced" in Saori weaving — just you, the loom, and whatever wants to come through that day. Join us for a one-day introduction to this free-form Japanese weaving style with Chiaki O'Brien of Studio FUN, who's been teaching Saori for years and brings a warm, no-pressure approach to the craft.
Your loom will be warped and ready to go, so you can start weaving right away — no setup, no rules about "doing it right." Chiaki will guide you through the basics of the technique, and from there it's all about following your own instincts with color, texture, and rhythm. Whether you've never touched a loom or you've dabbled before, you'll leave with a finished piece and a real feel for what makes Saori different from traditional weaving.
All materials included. No experience necessary — just come ready to play.
