(110) Rigid Heddle Extravaganza
Do you have a rigid heddle loom that has been gathering dust? This is the refresher you need to get weaving again and take your weaving to the next level and all in a fun and easy way.
This weaving extravaganza will take you through the basics of warping and weaving, color and weave and onto making multiple items on one warp. We will cover pick up for pattern weaving and the fun of clasped weft. We will also cover incorporating beads into our patterns, leno lace and then Krokbragd on the rigid heddle using string heddles. You will go home with your loom still warped to continue your krokbragd weaving.
This is a step-by-step class with no weaver left behind and suitable for all levels. Fun will be had by all.
