This two day workshop is designed to give students a thorough and intensive grounding in direct warping and hand weaving on a rigid heddle loom. Learn to warp and dress a rigid heddle loom through the direct warping method, type and composition of warp yarns, calculating yarn requirements for projects, set analyses, and fabric finishing techniques. You will make a warp which will be of your own design, weave if off and remove from the loom by the end of the class. No experience is necessary.
