About
In this introduction to the ancient art of weaving, you'll start by making simple woven potholders, while we discuss and design your main project — either a small bag or a scarf. You'll have access to a range of fibers and a rainbow of colors to design with. For the rest of the week, you'll focus on creating this personal project on BARN’s rigid heddle looms.
This class is suitable for students with no weaving experience. Students with some weaving experience who wish to develop their skills by using new fibers and experimenting with more advanced techniques would also enjoy this class.
By the end of the week, you can expect to have completed at least one woven potholder and your unique main project. More importantly, you'll leave with the knowledge of how to warp and use these two hand looms to design and make many future projects!
