Intro to Rigid Heddle Weaving
$125.00
Weaving is the new knitting! Not really, of course, but it is a lot of fun and exciting to do. And weaving on a rigid heddle loom is a great way to get your toes wet. Incredibly versatile, yet simple to use, these looms are ideal for space challenged NYC apartments!
In this 5-hour, two part class you will learn all the basics from setting up the loom and getting ready to weave through to different finishing techniques to complete your project. Students will make a plaid scarf projects pictured as their project for the class.
Class is 2-3 hours each session. Students should expect to spend 3-6 hours working at home on their project in preparation for the second class.
