❋ How to choose contrasting colors that will pop.

❋ How to warp & thread odd numbers of warp threads.

  • "I Learned So Much in This Color & Weave Class"

    "I enjoy Heidi's classes because I learn so much. Heidi shares tips and tricks during the class and then ends the class with how to apply what we've learned to future projects. I have already woven towels using a design from one of the patterns on the gamp we made in class . It is so fun to create my own unique towel playing with the color and weave patterns." -Terry A., Seattle, WA

  • "A 10 out of 10 Class"

    "Heidi's Color and Weave workshop is a 10 out of 10. It's good for beginners since the class covers everything from the initial warp to the actual weaving. It is also good for people with a bit of experience since the warp and weave of a Gamp introduces new techniques. It's a thorough, comprehensive project using multiple colors of light and dark. As always, the wealth of tips and tricks Heidi provides are awesome!" - Cindy K., Bellevue, WA

  • "A Wealth of Knowledge"

    "I took Heidi's Color and Weave workshop as I was self-taught and it was so helpful to learn all the weaving nuances and tricks. Simple reminders were helpful from her wealth of knowledge. I came away wanting to keep going and weave as much as I can. The class was small and personal, and the one-on-one advise was so helpful. " - Eileen VB, Burien, WA

  • “Lots of Practical Tips from an Experienced Weaver”​

    Heidi's Color & Weave class was delightful and covered a detailed warp setup process that helped me to very clearly understand the mechanics of weaving. She also gave a lot of practical tips that you can only get from an experience weaver, which I appreciated. I feel like I was provided with a solid base of knowledge to start looking into weaving on my own." - Hannah C., Sammamish, WA

  • "Heidi Is the Teacher You Wish For"

    “Heidi is the teacher you wish for—experienced, attentive, encouraging, and fun. I have taken both the Lace class and Color & Weave Beyond the Basics. The courses are friendly for beginners yet completely engaging for students with experience. The materials provided for both classes are precious keepers, filled with a lot of useful tricks, techniques, and advice. I was willing to travel far to learn weaving, but I am so happy that I found this level of expertise close to home.” - Natalia K., Sammamish
