About
The clasped weft technique enables weavers to create different shapes in different colors. It can be used on any loom, but you'll be learning through demonstrations and teaching on a rigid heddle loom.
Materials
You need to bring two contrasting yarns of the same weight to class. You can use your own loom or or one of BARN's (in which case, you'll need to pre-warp your loom before class).
Prerequisites
Introduction to Rigid Heddle Loom Weaving or equivalent experience, with the ability to setup a rigid heddle loom to weave. If you have questions on the experience needed, contact the weaving coordinator at weaving.coordinator@bainbridgebarn.org.
Class Policies
Ages 14 and up are welcome.
