This class is designed for those wanting to up their skill on the rigid heddle loom after taking our first class, Rigid Heddle Weaving I. Participants will choose to weave with either a 7.5 dent reed, like before, or with a 15 dent reed that accommodates finer thread.
We will explore adding texture to weaving through the use of pick up sticks. And by the end of class, weavers will have their one-of-a-kind project to take home.
