The rigid heddle has so much to offer beyond plain weave. These one-day classes dive into a single weaving structure so you can add new patterns into your weaving. They all kick-off with an evening zoom session to review the class and warp at home instructions. The final threading and weaving are done in class.
In class you’ll weave many variations of that structure so that you can incorporate them into any plain-weave pattern or take the confusion out of commercially sold kits and patterns.
Small class sizes (2–4 people), detailed instructions, and lots of personal attention.
Classes are located in north Seattle, near Woodland Park Zoo.
