Rigid Heddle Weaving I with Reina Young (17 Nov 2026)

Wed, 18 Nov 2026 03:30:00 GMT

Register Online Now through Nov 3, 2026.

Join us for Rigid Heddle Weaving I with Reina Young

This class introduces new weavers to the portable rigid heddle loom. Weavers have the option to create a scarf, table runner, or placemats. We will go over different pattern techniques, play with color palettes, experiment with various fibers, and learn how to warp and dress the loom.

The rigid heddle loom is essentially a rectangular, wooden frame loom. However, it differs from the simple frame looms that are now readily available and often used for tapestry, as it has space for a heddle/reed, making it capable of producing sheds (gaps or spaces) to weave through. It is a 2 shaft loom, but has further reaching capabilities.

This class is open to any skill level. There will be an additional supply fee of $25, to include yarn and weaving tools, payable to the instructor on the first day of class. All supplies and materials will be provided.

What to Bring:

$25 supply fee
Notebook and pen

Eco Dye Scarf with Jena Hayama (11 Dec 2026)

Fri, 11 Dec 2026 19:00:00 GMT

Register Online Now through December 4, 2026.

Join us for Eco Dye Scarf with Jena Hayama.

Bring Your Own flowers and Plants (BYOP) to create a unique botanical silk scarf.

Eco dyeing is a special technique that uses the natural pigments of plants to imprint color and images onto fabric. Local plants and flowers in season are wrapped into bundles and then steamed to print onto silk scarves.

Successful eco-printing using this method requires knowledge of (and access to) plants that are rich in tannins and natural dyes.

But what if you don’t have these plants?

In this class, we will use a “blanket” prepared with acid dye to create both positive and negative botanical prints on a silk scarf. This technique produces a scarf with a vivid background color and dramatic plant silhouettes. Plants may or may not have natural dye properties.

In other words, “ANY KINE” PLANT will work!

Bring your own flowers and leaves, especially ones with distinctive or unique silhouettes, and leave with your very own botanical printed silk scarf.

Experience with basic eco-dyeing technique is helpful, but not required.

There will be a $20 supply fee that includes one habotai silk scarf, dye supplies (iron mordant, prepared dye blanket, citric acid solution, plastic wrap, etc.) supplied and payable to the instructor on the day of class.

What to bring:

Bring your own fresh plants and/or flowers. Any kind will work!
$20 supply fee payable to Jena Hayama
Snacks and/or lunch and beverages
Come dressed for dyeing
*other suggestions: onion skins, pressed leaves/flowers, teas, herbs, tree bark or even seaweed may work!

Instructor Bio

Jena Hayama (aka J. Tanuki) is a "dye explorer" who experiments with locally grown plants in Hawaiʻi to dye fibers and make clothes, among other things.

Quilted Sneakers with Marcia Krieger & Carolyn Barsness (16 Jan 2027)

Sat, 16 Jan 2027 19:00:00 GMT

Join us for Quilted Sneakers with Marcia Krieger & Carolyn Barsness.

Make your own bespoke quilted sneakers! Have you seen the latest style in sneakers - comfortable sneaker soles with quilted uppers? They are fun and easy to make. You can design and make low tops or high tops with your choice of upper, sole and laces. You can use fabric in your stash or get new fabric. No special skills or equipment is required, but you must be familiar with your sewing machine to quilt the uppers.

The Hui is offering an all-day sneaker assembly workshop on January 16 beginning at 9:00 am and ending at 5:00 pm, with spillover on Jan 17, as needed.
All you will need is a sneaker kit (sole, pattern in your size, insole, needle and waxed thread) and your choice of upper materialand thread (quilted fabric that you will make into shoe uppers before the assembly class on Jan. 16)

After confirmation of registration, the instructor will send you a form to fill out for your shoe kit, be sure to send your filled form by email to yyournnamee@hotmail.com by December 5 so that a kit can be ordered for you.

Instruction: We recommend buying the book entitled "Happy Feet! - A Guide to Making Quilted Sneakers". You can find it on Etsy or Thrift Books. There are also several instructional videos on the internet (see below)

Before the Jan 16 Workshop, you will need to design your sneakers and make your uppers. This involves quilting the fabric, cutting out the right size pattern and binding off the visible edges. We will have a zoom session for instruction as to how to do this on a date that will be determined once registration is completed. If you cannot attend, contact Marcia Krieger at yyournnamee@hotmail.com or Carolyn Barsness at crbarsness@aol.com. We can walk you through the process or direct you to other resources.

Supply fee: The Hui will place a single order for all who want kits from The Chicago School of Shoemaking advantage of a bulk discount of 20%. The kits will be available at the workshop. The cost for the kit (and purchase of eyelets and tools that we will supply) will be $65. Your only other costs will be for the material you choose for the uppers (2 fat quarters of quilting fabric and foam interfacing between) and laces.

You likely will be able to complete one shoe and be close to completing your second one by the end of the workshop. If you want to return the next day to complete assembly, we will be available to help you.

Questions: contact Marcia Krieger at yyournnamee@hotmail.com or Carolyn Barsness crbarsness@aol.com
