LEARN TO WEAVE ON A TABLE TOP LOOM - In just one class you'll weave a couple of cotton washcloths on a tabletop, rigid heddle loom. It covers all the weaving basics: loom set-up, color changes and finishing. Once you learn to weave, the possibilities are endless including scarves, pillow covers, towels, curtains and cloth for sewing. Weaving supplies and handouts are included. If you want to bring your own assembled, working rigid heddle loom with a 7.5 or 8 dent heddle, please contact the instructor at HeidiBennettwa@gmail.com to ensure it will be suitable for this class and type of weaving project.
For students 15+ and adults of all ages. Some walking around a table required. Please note that no scented products or perfumes should be worn during this class.
