The intermediate rigid heddle weaving classes ar designed for those who can independently thread a rigid heddle loom and follow a weaving draft. Many of these classes will require that you bring your own rigid heddle loom.

HAND MANIPULATED LACE TECHNIQUES ON A RIGID HEDDLE LOOM

Leno, Brooks Bouquet, Danish Medallions and Spanish Lace are all hand manipulated lace techniques that are easily done on a rigid heddle loom. You will bring your rigid heddle loom dressed in our 4/2 Ad Astra cotton and learn how to weave all 4 techniques. You will have enough warp on your loom to weave a scarf in whichever lace weave technique you choose. These hand-controlled techniques are slow and precise but are a fantastic skill to have in your weaving tool kit and can be used to dress up any project as an accent, border, or entire cloth. Materials not included. By Olivia Mills.

DOUBLE WEAVE ON THE RIGID HEDDLE LOOM

Don't feel constrained by the size of your rigid heddle loom. In this class you will learn to use two heddles to create double the width fabric on your rigid heddle loom. Handy for creating throws and shawls! You can bring any size rigid heddle loom to class, but it must be equipped for 2-heddle weaving. You will use two 7.5- or 8- dent heddles. Materials not included. By Bea Bonanno.

INTRODUCTION TO TAPESTRY WEAVING

Tapestry weaving can be done on a frame, rigid heddle, or harness loom. We will be working on rigid heddle looms and floor looms to create a small tapestry. Using slit and diagonal techniques, weave a design based on a simple illustration. Bring your own pre-threaded loom or sign up to rent one of ours. You will need to buy 3 colors of Nature Spun Sport for your weft. By Bea Bonanno.
