Learn to Weave on a Rigid Heddle Loom

Description: The rigid heddle loom is a great tool for exploring weaving, using up your stash, and learning something new!

Dates: August 4, 12:00 - 4:00 and August 11 12:00 - 1:00

In this 2 session class students will learn to warp the loom, and weave and finish a scarf. Our first session on Saturday, August 4 12:00 - 4:00 will cover designing, calculating, warping the loom and weaving. Students will finish their projects at home, returning a week later on August 11 from 12-1 for a quick one hour lesson on taking your scarf off the loom and finishing techniques- and seeing everyone's finished pieces is so fun!
