    Join us for Rigid Heddle Weaving 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 $20, 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: 

    • $20 supply fee
    • Notebook and pen

    Join us for Basic Loom Weaving with Joan Namkoong

    A basic class for people who want to learn how to set up a loom and weave cloth. On the first day, you will set up a 4 shaft table loom: measuring a warp and beaming it on the loom, threading the heddles, sleying the reed and tying on to the front beam. Then you’ll weave cloth – plain weave, twill, basket weave and more.

    On day two you will continue your weaving exploration so you can take home handwoven cloth that you’ve made from start to finish.   



    Students can take their looms home for the week between classes to explore on their own. A $100 deposit will be required, payable in cash or check on the first day.

    • 4 shaft table loom will be provided for each student as well as all equipment needed for loom setup.
    • All supplies and equipment for this class will be provided and is included in the cost of the class
    • Please bring lunch, beverage, snacks for the day.


    Instructor Bio

    Joan Namkoong is a production hand weaver in Kamuela, Hawaiʻi. She weaves with fine silk for shawls and scarves, cotton for towels, rugs and placemats. An 8 shaft Gilmore loom is used for most of her textile products; a 10 shaft Glimakra loom with a drawloom attachment is used for special projects with geometric designs. Color and texture are her primary design components in plain weave and twill structures – her goal is to create visually beautiful cloth with a nice hand that is suitable for its purpose. Joan teaches weaving for the Hawaiʻi Handweavers’ Hui at the Downtown Art Center in Honolulu and also on the Big Island.

      Join us for Boro Sashiko with Kye Harford.

      Celebrate sustainability, creativity, and history through Boro Sashiko, a traditional Japanese textile practice that transforms worn fabrics into works of art. “Boro” means “tattered” or “repaired,” and when combined with Sashiko stitching—a form of decorative reinforcement—it becomes a meditative, layered technique for mending, patching, and beautifying textiles.

      In this class, participants will learn how to piece together fabric scraps using simple running stitches to create richly textured surfaces that honor imperfection and resourcefulness. Students will explore traditional and modern approaches to Boro, experiment with composition and color, and complete a small textile piece suitable for display, clothing repair, or home décor.
      The supply fee will include all supplies but feel free to bring scraps of fabrics you’d like to use.

      What to bring:

      • $10 Supply fee
      • Scissors
      • Fabric scraps (optional)

      Skill Level: Beginner 

      There will be an additional supply fee of $45 payable to the instructor on the day of class. The supply fee includes all oils and a silicone soap mold.

      Join us for Eco Dye Scarf II 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
      • Bag lunch for short break
      • Come dressed for dyeing

      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.
