Learn to Weave Classic Houndstooth! Saturday, June 20, 1-6 p.m. In this 5-hour hands-on workshop, weavers who’ve explored the direct warping (rigid heddle) technique will learn to warp to create a multi-color textile, creating the classic pattern of houndstooth, also known as puppytooth or pinwheel. This class is a great next step for weavers of all skill levels. In class, students will learn best practices for warping their looms with multiple colors. You may borrow a rigid heddle loom to warp on or bring your own (please leave a note in the comments with which loom you will bring to warp, if bringing your own). The remainder of the class will cover learning to weave with more than one color as weft and how to manage and create clean and balanced selvedges. Each student will create their own finished 10-20″ long houndstooth textile to take home. Prerequisite: Students must have taken Warp & Weave on a Rigid Heddle Loom or be comfortable warping a rigid heddle loom using the direct warping method. All materials to warp & weave a houndstooth textile are included for use. If you’re bringing your own rigid heddle loom to warp and weave on, please email Instructor Jeanine Ertl at aninidesigns@gmail.com to let her know which loom you will be bringing. The loom should be all set up and in working order and ready to warp and weave on. No experience necessary. Ages 14+ welcome! OPTION: Students will weave on Ashford looms. The instructor will have a variety of Ashford looms present for purchase in class. Please contact Jeanine at aninidesigns@gmail.com if you have any questions or specific looms you’re interested in beforehand. • Military, first responders and sibling discounts • Scholarships available • Homeschool funds accepted • If this class is full, join the Interest List to be notified.
