Learning Strategies and Resources

There are different strategies one can take to advance one's learning in weaving. You can choose to learn different weave structures and let that guide you. Taking a project by project approach is also a good process of learning weave structures and practicing your weaving skills. Many students these days are finding so many resources on the internet.  Of course experience is definitely one of them. Last Spring Louise Granahan made it her goal to learn 8 different kinds of weaving techniques or kinds of looms. She did meet her goals and here are some of the results of what she accomplished.
