This class is for those who have never woven on a Rigid Heddle Loom, or who feel the need to brush up on the basics. In the first class we will warp the loom and begin to weave some basic structures. In the next two classes we will re-warp the loom and weave a scarf using your yarn.

This class is where it all starts. Our beginning class teaches you the basics of weaving, warping a loom, reading a draft (pattern), and finishing your fabric. After this class you will be able to weave your own projects and also will be able to continue to learn in intermediate classes. Level: All

This class will explore lace-like weaving structures and how to weave them. Starting from how to get open areas, we will go on to structures like Huck, Swedish Lace and Bronson lace. We will explore these structures and how to design with them.

The Gradient Dyeing Class is meant for beginning as well as experienced dyers. Each student will pick two colors to dye with and will dye 16 half ounce skeins with those colors. The final result is 16 distinct, but related colors. The yarn to dye and the dyes are included in the cost of the class.

An intermediate class. Students should be able to warp a rigid heddle loom and weave simple plain weave. The class focuses on manipulated warp techniques, including: leno, clasped weft, Brooks Bouquet, and Danish Medallions. You will also learn finishing techniques: hemstitching, and twisted fringe.

Next to plain weave, twill is the most basic weave structure. By weaving a twill gamp, the weaver has a physical reference guide that shows how different threadings interact with various treadlings. This class is intense, designed to get you back to your loom, designing your own twill patterns.
