Welcome to Mixed Media Weaving. During the lock down in 2020 I was looking for something to keep me busy other than my mixed media work. I watched a tutorial about weaving and loved the idea but I didn’t want to use traditional materials, I wanted to use all sorts of things and that’s how Mixed Media Weaving began. If I could weave through it was a keeper.

Here is the supply list for supplies I used. The supplies in bold can be found here in my amazon store (#affiliate). There are a couple of other direct links that are not on amazon. I am a firm believer of using what you have first so please don’t feel any pressure to purchase anything you don’t need. For this class especially you can use whatever works.!!
