Discover the joy of weaving on a small, portable rigid heddle loom! This workshop is perfect for beginners eager to learn weaving terminology and basic techniques, as well as for those with some experience who want to explore new methods and ways to use this versatile loom for sampling larger projects.
Rigid heddle looms produce minimal waste, making them ideal for special skeins of art yarn, handspun, or hand-dyed fibers. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a finished sampler or small project, along with guidance for your next steps in weaving.
Note: Looms will be pre-warped. This workshop focuses on weaving only. No prior experience required.
Beginner Friendly | Ages 18+ | Members - $118.65 (incl. hst) & Non members - $135.60 (incl.hst)
