Have you been fascinated by the loom in the shop and wondering how you can learn to weave your own fabric? This class is for anyone wanting to learn the basics of weaving on a rigid heddle loom. You'll learn just that from Stephanie as you weave your very own scarf.Â
This class meets over the course of two sessions, with time in between to make progress on your project at home:
Sunday, May 17th, 9-11am
Sunday, May 24th, 9-11am
Class Level
Absolute beginner! You will learn how to identify the parts of the loom and how it functions. You'll also learn how to warp, weave, and finish your project. Basic weaving techniques will be covered and you will have your very own scarf at the end of class.
