Join us for Rigid Heddle: Basic Pattern Weave I with Reina Young and Helen Rau
In this class, you will learn to warp and weave on the rigid heddle loom. Pattern Weave I is geared towards learning the waffle weave and the use of pick-up sticks. However, if you have a project in mind, you can discuss it with the instructors before the class begins.
The waffle weave is great for making absorbent dishtowels, placemats, or table runners with a delightful texture and pattern.
Required Prerequisite: Taste of Weaving or other Rigid Heddle experience.
There will be an additional $25 supply fee for yarn and weaving tools (RH loom, 10 dent reed, and pick-up sticks) 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.
*Upon checking with instructors to confirm the yarn is appropriate for class use. (8/2 unmercerized cotton—double yarn).
What to Bring:
- $25 supply fee
- Rigid Heddle Loom (if you own one)
- Snack and Beverage
- Wear comfortable clothing

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.
