This class will introduce you to the power of the rigid heddle loom! We’ll cover weaving terminology, how to set up the loom and of course how to weave. We’ll create a variety of fabrics and textures using plain weave and pick up stick patterns.By the end of the class you will be able to warp and weave on the rigid heddle loom on your own.
