Learn to Warp + Weave on a Rigid Heddle Loom

Learn to Warp & Weave!

Saturday, July 18, from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Learn the ancient fiber craft of weaving your own fabric using a Rigid Heddle Loom and natural fibers. In his hands-on workshop, Weaver & Dyer Jeanine Ertl will teach you everything you need to know to warp and weave on your own. This class is perfect for anyone who’s been curious about weaving beyond a lap loom and wants to learn the warping and weaving processes. We’ll dive into fiber & fabric and demystify the process of getting set up (otherwise known as warping a loom), weaving, and finally, finishing and removing a woven fiber good from the loom! And, you’ll go home with handwoven fabric in-hand. Length of the final piece will depend on the individual’s own pace.

In this workshop you’ll learn how: a rigid heddle loom works; to plan a textile (e.g. sett, basic pattern & choosing fiber, etc.); to warp a rigid heddle; to weave; to remove your handwoven; and to finish a textile.

All materials to warp & weave a sample are included for use. You may also bring your own rigid heddle to learn with. The loom should be set up and in working order and ready to warp and weave on.

No experience necessary. Ages 14+ welcome!
