Creative Tapestry Weaving

This beginner-friendly creative community invites you to slow down and explore creativity through fiber, weaving, and nature. We’ll learn the basics of tapestry weaving, experimenting with texture, color, recycled materials, and found natural objects to create an experimental wall hanging that captures the spirit of Three Mile Island. With an emphasis on curiosity and hands-on discovery over perfection, you will leave with finished pieces, tools to continue at home, and a deeper understanding of how natural materials can create joy and art.

About Haley Houseman

Haley is a lifelong sewist who learned at her mother’s side as soon as she could reach the foot pedal. With a deep family history of textile and craft education, she brings generations of knowledge to the classroom — along with a love of making that spans projects using all sorts of materials. She has taught sewing, spinning, and weaving to beginners and returning makers through private sessions, women’s clubs, and pop-up studios across the Boston area. Based in Massachusetts, Haley is also a writer who explores craft, material culture, and environmental history in her work. Her classes aim to demystify the crafts we yearn to learn and are rooted in skill-building, experimentation, and storytelling, helping students feel at home with their tools and confidently bring their ideas to life.
