Beginning Rigid Heddle Weaving
|
Get ready for winter with this new class, and learn how to weave a scarf on a rigid heddle loom!
Rigid heddle weaving is easy, relatively inexpensive, and portable for learning the craft of weaving. No previous weaving experience is necessary. Instruction will be given on how to direct warp a loom, weave a scarf, and finish the scarf. Each student will receive adequate hands-on training during class so they can take their project work home to practice and complete between lessons. Students are encouraged to take advantage of open studio time (see below) to practice weaving skills and complete their project. |
