Intermediate Rigid Heddle
With Myra Chang Thompson
It’s time to up your game with your rigid heddle loom! Let’s warp up our looms with some fun techniques that are the next step after conquering warping the “beast!”
In this 2-day workshop across two Fridays, we will cover stripes in the warp and weft, color gradients in the warp, a few easy “lace” techniques, and clasped weft weaving.
You will also be encouraged to add texture to your warp and weft with novelty yarns.
