Learn to Warp + Weave on a Rigid Heddle Loom

---

Learn the ancient fiber craft of weaving your own fabric using a sustainably harvested wooden Rigid Heddle Loom and soft natural fibers. In his hands-on workshop, instructor Jeanine Ertl will teach you everything you need to know to warp and weave on your own. This class is perfect for anyone who’s been curious about weaving beyond a lap loom and wants to learn the warping and weaving processes. We’ll dive into fiber & fabric and demystify the process of getting set up (otherwise known as warping a loom), weaving, and finally, finishing and removing a woven fiber good from the loom! And, you’ll go home with handwoven fabric in-hand. Length of the final piece will depend on the individual’s own pace.

In this workshop you’ll learn:
* How a Rigid Heddle Loom works;
* How to Plan a Textile (e.g. sett, basic pattern & choosing fiber, etc.)
* How to Warp a Rigid Heddle;
* How to Weave;
* How to Remove your Woven;
* And, How to Finish a freshly Handwoven Textile.

OPTION: Students will weave on Ashford looms. The instructor will have a variety of Ashford looms (Sample It and Knitters Looms) present for purchase in class. Please contact Jeanine at aninidesigns@gmail.com if you have any questions or specific looms you’re interested in beforehand.
