More Rigid Heddle Weaving Classes

Just a quick note about the next series of classes I'm teaching on Vashon (we had so much fun in the last classes and my students made such lovely scarves):

Beginning Rigid Heddle Weaving

Three Scarves

The Rigid Heddle Loom is a simple but versatile (and very portable) little loom.  In four sessions, students will weave three scarves - learning how to warp the loom, how to weave plain weave, how to select yarns for weaving, how to use stripes and plaids and checks, how to include yarns of various thicknesses in “stashbusting”, how to finish the ends of a scarf with various fringes, how to wash and care for handwovens, and how to plan future projects.  

$80 for 4 sessions@ 3 hours each

Saturdays – March 10, 17, and 31, and April 7 from 1PM to 4PM 
at Island Quilter 17639 Vashon Hwy SW, Vashon, WA

To sign up, call Island Quilter at 206-713-6000

Intermediate Rigid Heddle I

In three sessions, students will learn pick-up stick and hand manipulation techniques to weave a lace sampler scarf or wall hanging.  Sampler includes Leno Lace, Mexican Lace, Norwegian Lace, Karelian Lace, Peruvian Gauze, Spot Lace, Tarascan Lace, Brooks Bouquet, Honeycomb, Danish Medallion, and Spanish Lace, as well as weft floats and lattice hemstitching. 

Pre-requisite: Students must know how to warp a loom and weave with plain weave.
