*There is a requirement that students spend a minimum of 3-4 hours of time in the studio between classes doing homework.
RIGID HEDDLE CLASS
Rigid Heddle Weaving
Rigid heddle looms produce plain weave cloth on a fun and portable loom. Students begin by learning how to design a scarf, placemats, or a table runner. Lessons will focus on warping the loom and weaving. More advanced students can study how to create lace and surface textures on the rigid heddle loom. Looms are available for use in the studio only if you don't own your own equipment.
Students may come learn by appointment when the studio is open. Three 3-hour lessons are needed to weave a scarf; placemats require more lessons.
Cost: $45.00 ($30.00) per 3-hour lesson plus materials
