Details

• A variety of plain weave color and weave techniques will be demonstrated and displayed, then you'll be guided to design, warp, and start to weave your own project.
• You'll learn how to warp and weave with 8/2 cotton on the rigid heddle loom.
• We'll also cover basic elements of project design including division of space, size of finished project, and calculating materials.
• You'll have access to your BARN loom for seven days after the class to finish weaving your towels. Or, if you have your own 24-inch rigid heddle loom you'd like to use, please bring it along with a 10 dent reed that fits your loom. You can complete your weaving at home. 
• Bring lunch or a snack to enjoy in the common area during a break. There is a refrigerator and microwave on the lower level.

Prerequisites

• You must know how to warp a rigid heddle loom! You should either have taken Introduction to Rigid Heddle Loom Weaving at BARN or have successfully warped at least one of your own projects.
• If you don't yet have experience warping the rigid heddle loom, but would like to take this class, please sign up for an upcoming introduction class or contact  weaving.coordinator@bainbridgebarn.org to set up a private class.

• A $25 materials fee, included in the price of the class, covers enough 8/2 cotton to weave two towels, finished size approx. 15 by 25 inches (16-inch loom) or 22 by 30 inches (24-inch loom). BARN has looms of both sizes. You can choose your finished size according to your preference and time constraints.
