Fun with Canvas Weaving

This class is designed to give students a chance to create a festive weaving on a stretched canvas.  During this 3-hour class, students will use colors of their choice to create a small-but-mighty work of art that they can hang on the wall or give as a special handmade gift.  Students will learn a variety of weaving stitches and how to combine them in intriguing ways.  They will also learn how to create a finished weaving without using a loom or any complex weaving tools. All levels are welcome to come join the fun!

About jan rust

Jan loved creating artwork from the time she was a child.  She received a BA degree in art and education in 1970 and between 1970-1980 she taught art to students ages 5-adult in Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Washington. 

Between 1980-2010, Jan was busy raising a family and working as an educator.  Although she never lost interest in her artistic pursuits, time was filled with a busy family and a busy job.

In 2010, Jan retired, moved to Sandpoint, and focused her attention back to creating art.  One of her passions became textured, sculptural weavings. She has traveled throughout the Pacific Northwest to work with prominent weavers and learn unusual weaving techniques.  She loves spending her time at POAC and she is having a great time in the Joyce Dillon Studio.
