Woven tapestries are an original way to add vibrancy and character to interiors, especially when designed to fit the color scheme and style of a room. For textile artist Marion Weymes, tapestry weaving is the ideal way to disconnect from the many screens that are in our day-to-day and relax with a manual activity.

In this course, Marion Weymes shares her techniques for creating an original woven tapestry to enhance a space. Learn how to combine the colors and shapes in tune with a room’s existing color scheme and breathe new life to your interiors.
