Creative Connections at Grant D. Morse Elementary!

Students dove into the world of weaving, learning cool terms like warp, weft, and roving, and even got to try their hand at the loom, creating a tree on a tapestry rug! Each student worked on the collaborative project, first by having some students sketch a tree as a cartoon image and using it as a guide behind the loom. They also learned where wool comes from and how it’s spun into all kinds of creations—from clothing to rugs and pouches!
