Next Step
on The Rigid Heddle
Type: Technique
Length: 4 hours
Instructor: Staff
Class Fee: $50
Prerequisite: Students must be able to warp their loom.
Description:
Rigid Heddle looms are a great way to explore texture and color in weaving. In this class, participants will get a chance to go beyond the basic Tabby weave structure. Students will warp their loom in class for a small sampler project. We will explore clasped weft, fingering manipulated lace patterns, 2 shuttle weaving, and pickup stick float techniques, all in this class.
Participants need to purchase or bring the following supplies when they come to class:
(Please arrive a few minutes early to purchase your materials.)
Warp and weft yarn for the project - this project requires two skeins of Berroco Vintage Baby, one for the warp and one for the weft.
Yarn can be purchased right before the class.
Participants may also bring the following supplies to class:
Pen and paper for notes
Scissors
Please register for all classes at least 24 hours in advance.
Unless specified, materials are not included in the cost of class.
