Join us for Rigid Heddle: Basic Pattern Weave II with Reina Young and Helen Rau

In this class, you will warp and weave on the rigid heddle loom. Pattern Weave II is geared towards learning the diamond twill pattern, a three shaft pattern using two heddles. You will marvel at the design you get with this weaving pattern! If you have a project and yarn selection in mind, you can discuss it with the instructors by email before class begins. You must have permission from the instructors to bring your own project and yarn.

There will be an additional $25 supply fee for yarn and weaving tools (loom, and two ten dent reed) that is paid to the instructor on the first day of class. All supplies and materials will be provided; however, students may bring their own yarn,* and rigid heddle loom. You will take the loom home between classes.

How do I get to the Studio? From the Chinatown Gateway Garage, take the elevator to the 2nd floor and walk to the large double doors on the left. Enter the gallery and turn left; we are the last door on the left, past the kitchen. If you are parked elsewhere, walk up the steps to the DAC gift shop, go past it to find the elevator, and follow the instructions above to access the studio. There is a handicap ramp if you cannot walk up the stairs for the DAC building on the Nu'uanu entrance side. Walk towards the street lights, and you will see the ramp; you will need to walk through the courtyard to the elevator.
