Rigid Heddle Weaving Classes
What is A rigid Heddle Loom?
Rigid heddle looms are small, easy to store, and simple to set up. While the word "rigid" might suggest limited options, this loom style allows for versatile patterns and techniques.
This class is wonderful for those interested in beginning to understand weaving, or advancing students who would like a more portable loom option.
The Weaving Center offers beginner and techniques classes throughout the year. After taking the beginner class, we recommend exploring one or more of the techniques classes. Each techniques session explores a different pattern and topic, so there is always something new to learn!
We are an authorized Schacht loom dealer, so you can rent or buy rigid heddle looms directly from the Weaving Center.
Upcoming Classes
RIGID HEDDLE FOR BEGINNERS
NOTE: We hope to offer this Class in April 2021 (COVID-19 Dependent)
Please check back after March 1.
Join us for a special 2-day rigid heddle weaving class. Instructor Sally Mullen will teach you each step of the rigid heddle weaving process, and help you build confidence to set up the loom and weave on your own at home.
This class is open to brand new weavers, and anyone who is interested in refreshing or solidifying their rigid heddle weaving skills.
You can rent our loom for the class, including to take home the week between classes, for $25. After the class ends, there is a $50 deposit to rent the loom. The rental fee of $25 will go toward the purchase of the loom after the class ends. Let us know before the class if you'd be interested in purchasing your
