weaving on a rigid heddle loomNB: Registration for members opens Friday, Nov 3, for non-members Saturday Nov 4 at 12:00pm.

Description: Would you like to learn how to weave but beginning with 4 shafts seems a bit daunting? A Rigid Heddle loom is often a smaller, more portable and simpler way to try out weaving. Learn the basics of weaving on the Rigid Heddle loom while making a scarf in plain weave. This is a great introduction to a very portable loom. You will learn how to warp (set up the loom to weave), how to start and stop weaving, as well as focusing on the importance of even beat and making neat edges. How to wash and finish your scarf will also be discussed.

Prerequisite None

Students should bring: a lunch if possible as we take shorter breaks rather than one long lunch

Materials fee: $20 for hand painted yarn to make your project
