Rigid Heddle Weaving
January 18, Saturday, 9 am – 1 pm
The basics of Rigid Heddle Weaving, using the
“Cricket Rigid Heddle Loom,” make it easy to get
introduced to weaving. A simple scarf can be
completed in just a few evenings! In this class you
will learn to warp the loom, along with basic
weaving techniques. This is a beginner class: no
weaving experience is necessary. Any one can learn
this skill. The portable, light-weight rigid heddle
loom is a wonderful tool to begin weaving lovely
textiles featuring color and texture. It allows you to
weave items such as scarves, table runners,
placemats, purses, bags and more. These looms
make great stash busters for fiber enthusiasts!
Students need a rigid heddle loom for class; if you
have a loom, bring it to class. Looms are available
to rent at $25 for the week; the rental fee may be
applied to a loom purchase. A week’s rent lets you
experiment with weaving. We only take four
students per class, so sign up early. Waiting lists are
available for every session. But be for-warned: it’s
addictive! Instructor: Debra Paradis
Class Fee $50/4 hours, plus loom rental if needed
