Rigid Heddle Weaving at Sievers School of Fiber Arts
August 26, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - August 31, 2022 @ 11:00 am CDT
This class offers instruction for “beginning and beyond” rigid heddle weavers. Beginners will start with a basic scarf followed by a sampler of pick-up and lace techniques to show the versatility of the loom. There will be time to weave one or more additional projects you choose to expand your learning even further. Those with experience on the loom will focus on weft-faced weaves. We will weave a set of mug rugs to sample three different weft-faced techniques. Then you’ll plan and weave a larger project (chair pad, tote fabric, etc.) utilizing one or more of the techniques. Beginning and intermediate. No previous rigid heddle or weaving experience necessary.
