For all the beginning weavers, the rigid heddle weavers, or more experienced weavers looking for a bit of inspiration, this workshop is for you! In this 2-hour class, Chris Acton will take you through (3) different techniques to fancy up your tabby. Gone are the days when plain weave looks, well, “plain”!
Participants will be able to try their hand at each technique, but they do not need to bring a loom with them. No supplies are required. It is also not a requirement to know how to dress (warp) a loom, but having that skill will be beneficial in understanding the concepts.
Class fee, including materials, is $40. Space is limited, pre-pay to reserve your spot (click here to register).
