For many years Mirrix Looms has been hosting weave-alongs. During these events we taught people how to make specific projects from start to finish over the course of several weeks. They were meant to be social events with people from all around the world working on the same part of each project during each week of the weave-along and sharing their work on our social channels as they go. While this format has been successful for a long time, we felt it was time for a change.
This year, we are introducing The Guided Weft Project Series. In this series, we aim to launch four projects a year that will come with tutorials + live studio sessions and have available kits and loom starter packages. These events focus on succinct tutorials with available supplementary information to appeal to a broad audience of weavers and feature live (recorded for those who cannot attend live) studio events focusing on both learning and community.
How does a Guided Weft Project work?
-Purchase a tutorial, kit or loom starter package
-In the kit and loom starter package, you will receive a link. Use this to sign up for one of two Live Online Studio Events. (If you purchase just the tutorial, this link will be emailed to you.) This is included in the kit and package so those receiving it as a gift can sign up with their information. Don’t worry if you can’t make either live event. These will be recorded. If you purchase after the events have occurred, you will receive a link to the event recordings instead.
-Before each live event, the person signed up will be asked if they have any specific questions or things they’d like covered during the studio session. On the day of the event, the .PDF tutorial will be sent to everyone signed up. The session is meant to be attended live, but the recording will be sent to everyone who is signed up afterwards.
