Woven Origami Bag
In this workshop you will create a woven bag in an ‘origami’ fold from the fabric we weave.
The workshop will require that you bring your own loom with the project threaded. The materials fee will be determined by your own choice of fiber and pattern and will be paid for the first day of class when ordering the materials. You can bring your own materials if appropriate to the project.
Sunday, April 14 1:00–3:00pm
Discuss the design of the bag and strap. Calculate the material needed and put together a materials order of yarn. When the material order is received it will need to be picked up at FAVA to take home to warp and thread your loom.
Saturday, April 27 10:00am–4:00pm
Move looms into FAVA and weave project using the designs and techniques discussed on the 14th.
Sunday, April 28 1:00pm–4:00pm
Make the straps, fold the fabric into shape to stitch together and complete the project with closure and strap in place.
Other possible materials needed: button for closure, thread to match your fiber if machine stitched, straight pins, needle with eye large enough for your fiber to sew (ie. tapestry needle), measuring tape, pencil and paper for notes.

Mary Carmosino
I have been weaving for over ten years and enjoying every minute of learning from my mistakes, successes and other weavers!
I began on a Union 36 rug loom and now weave on a 8-harness 22 inch Harrisville floor loom. This has kind of forced me to learn the double weave process in order to weave wider pieces on this loom. Double weave has also opened new doors to other techniques and pattern design for new projects.
In the last six years I have assisted teaching at FAVA for the January Term Weaving Class which was created by Betsy Bruce in 2001. Working with college students and first time weavers was a large learning experience for everyone involved including me.
Now I enjoy sharing what I have learned with others! So come join me at FAVA along with other teaching artists and use the creativity we all have inside!

scholarships & aid
FAVA reviews and considers all application for scholarship assistance. While we may not be able to provide a complete scholarship to all those who request it, we are committed to making our classes available to as many people as possible – regardless of individual financial circumstances. For this reason, it is important that all scholarship requests are received well in advance of the class starting date, so we may allocate our available funds accordingly. We may consider any of the following factors when determining eligibility for scholarships:
- Annual family income
- Individual or special circumstances
- Whether the applicant qualifies for the National Free/Reduced Price School Lunch program
(for students age 18 & younger)
**FAVA also encourages applicants to consider partial scholarship assistance, in which case the student only pays some portion of the class tuition.
All information will be kept confidential and will be used solely to determine the amount of scholarship assistance to be provided.
