Using two heddles\, you will learn to weave a double-layer of fabric. It’s truly magic…and not difficult! Our class project will be a wall hanging that you can use to store some of your weaving tools. As we weave the project\, you will learn to weave two layers of fabric that are open on one side and closed on the other; open on both sides; closed on both sides with an opening in the center of the top layer; and closed on all four sides…and whatever other combinations there might be! \nThe first class session we will learn to warp our looms with two heddles and prepare to weave. The second and third sessions we will weave our wall hanging. Later in the third session\, as well as during the optional fourth session\, Deb will work with you to plan for a second project to do on your own after the workshop concludes. (Maybe you’ll plan to weave a blanket or laprobe? Or a set of pillow covers?? Or…???) Deb will also make herself available for you to consult with once you are “out there on your own”. \nThe prerequisite for this workshop is to have direct warped and woven on a rigid heddle loom at least once. A previous beginner class is all you need! \nClass dates/times (All times are Central time zone):\n -Tuesday\, February 6\, 2024 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. (First session is 3 hours.)\n -Thursday\, February 8\, 2024 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.\n -Tuesday\, February 13\, 2024 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.\n -Thursday\, February 15\, 2024 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. \nHere’s what you will need to participate in this workshop:\n -A rigid heddle loom that is a minimum of 12″ wide (15″ preferred)\, completely assembled\, and in excellent operating condition. Floor stand is optional.\n -Tools needed for warping your loom…warping peg\, heddle hook\, tape measure.\n -Two eight-dent rigid heddles\n -Two pick-up sticks\, preferably the width of your loom\, but at least 15″ long\n -Two stick shuttles. (Shuttles that are 9 or 12″ long work good\, but 15″ will work well too.)\n -Ability to access Zoom. Preferred but not required: a camera in which I can see you work to assist you through struggles. (You may like to log into the class with both a computer and phone or tablet to use as your “loom cam”. \nWorkshop fee is $125. A $60 non-refundable deposit will be due when you register. The remainder of the fee will be billed prior to the last night of class. This fee includes:\n -3 or 4 class sessions (the fourth session is optional if you do not wish to plan another project)\n -Two contrasting skeins of Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece or Malabrigo Verano yarn\n -Postage to ship your yarn to you\n -All classes will be recorded and you will have access to them in case you miss a class or for future reference.\n -A downloadable learning guide\n -Support from Deb between classes and following the completion of the workshop\nDeposits are non-refundable except when a class is cancelled by the Fiber Garden! \nZoom connection link\, information on ordering your workshop yarns\, and any other loom supplies you might need for class will be sent to you approximately 3 weeks prior to the start of the class. \nPlease note that technology can sometimes be a challenge in rural areas where the Fiber Garden is located. There are good days and slow days! In the event technology does not cooperate to provide you a good verbal and visual learning experience\, we will arrange to reschedule that session or reduce the class fee if a session needs to be canceled due to a slow internet connection. (I look forward to the day that I won’t need to lament over rural broadband access!) \nShare this:Share\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://fibergarden.com/event/rigid-heddle-double-weave-virtual-workshop-via-zoom/ LOCATION:WI CATEGORIES:Weaving END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Menominee:20231226T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Menominee:20231231T235900 DTSTAMP:20260605T113220 CREATED:20201130T214646Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231224T050815Z UID:3785-1703577600-1704067140@fibergarden.com SUMMARY:After Christmas SALE!

Until further notice\, all participants in Fiber Garden hosted events are required to show proof of full vaccination\, including a booster\, to participate. There may be additional protocols implemented to ensure maximum safety of participants. Protocols may include masks\, distancing\, at-home rapid testing. By registering for a Fiber Garden-sponsored event\, you agree to comply with any established guidelines.  Now…on to the fun stuff! … \n Learn kumihimo\, lucet\, and slentre techniques all in one day in one workshop! There are a lot of uses for braids and cords and this workshop will focus on three techniques that will help you weave several different types.  We will explore Kumihimo which uses a foam disc to make round or flat braids. For the second technique we will use a Lucet to make square cords. Finally\, participants will learn to use your fingers for braiding\, a technique called Slentre. All these techniques can be done almost anywhere and are quite portable. During this class we will be using different types of fiber for the techniques and incorporating beads into some of the designs. You will complete braids and cords using each technique. The braids and cords can be used for straps for bags/totes\, shoe laces\, bracelets\, trims for knitwear or hand wovens\, and embellishments for clothing or home furnishings. Although there is a “hefty” materials fee for this class\, you’ll go home with all of the supplies to continue making braids and cords at home!! Well worth the investment! \nWorkshop fee is $75. In addition\, a materials fee of $50 will be paid directly to the instructor at the workshop and includes a kumihimo foam disc\, lucet and spring clamp to take home\, a supply of various types of fiber to make braids and cords during class\, written directions.  A $20 non-refundable\, non-transferable deposit will be due at the time of registration to confirm your space.
