Beginning Weaving on a Rigid Heddle Loom with Cynthia Jerauld

Weaving is an amazing journey full of wonders with discovery of the old and making of the new.

In this two-session class you will get acquainted with a Rigid Heddle Loom and learn the basic skills to create a finished, hand-woven scarf using cotton and silk yarns. Students will learn how to warp a loom, work plain weave, and how to remove their finished piece from the loom.

If you do not own a loom, you can rent one for the entirety of the class along with the required accessories for a $25 fee. If after renting a loom for class you would like to purchase one, the rental fee can be applied toward the purchase of a loom.
