Colorful and vibrant handwoven fabric woven on a Macomber four shaft floor loom by TD at Arlington Weaves ETC. Emily Wroten

Arlington Weaves ETC formerly known as The Woodmont Weavers Program, started by parents of individuals with developmental disabilities, originated in the mid 1970’s as part of the Arlington Adult Developmental Center. At the parents’ request, Arlington County assumed responsibility for operation of the program in the late 1980’s. In 2003, the county outsourced the operation of the Program to a local non-profit agency. ServiceSource is the current provider.

The Program teaches independence, as well as technical and social skills to its participants. The Program supports these individuals to prepare for and engage in meaningful employment and/or training to increase their functional skills and self-sufficiency. In addition, these individuals have learned to weave and to produce handcrafted woven art and products. Weaving can be therapeutic to individuals with developmental disabilities as they increase motor skills, strengthen memory and concentration and develop their confidence.
