Weaving Class - Rigid Heddle Weaving from Start to Finish

Rigid Heddle Weaving from Start to Finish
8-hour Class split over 2 weeks
Instructor:  Lois Gaylord

Rigid Heddle Weaving from Start to Finish is designed for complete beginners who want to learn the all the basics of weaving on this user-friendly loom.  The class will cover the entire weaving process from selecting yarn and reeds sizes, warping the loom, threading the reed, learning tips for good tension, weaving different patterns, and finishing.  Students will warp their loom and weave a sampler piece by the end of the second session, which may be made into mug rug style coasters.  The class is divided into two sessions, a week apart, to allow time for working at home in between sessions.
