Learn Plain Weave, Clasped Weft & Hemstitching on a Rigid Heddle Loom Select a date from the drop-down menu. Have you wanted to dive into the mindful, rhythmic, magic of weaving? In this rigid heddle loom workshop, students will learn to weave their own unique handwoven fabric in both plain weave (a classic, simple pattern) and clasped weft (where two wefts interconnect, creating unique patterns). Each student will learn the basics of how the loom works, a variety of simple weaving techniques, plain weave, clasped weft weaving, and finally, hemstitching for a finished piece. Students will weave a length of handwoven fabric of their choosing using the techniques in-class. Looms will be pre-warped in this class and students will weave together on Ashford Looms with 100% cotton fiber for a fiber-friendly afternoon. Beginners, as well as those with weaving experience are welcome. No experience necessary. Ages 14+ welcome! • Military and sibling discounts • Scholarships available • Homeschoolers: contact us for enrollment details. Stay Connected with San Diego Craft Collective!
