Presented with Whatcom Community College
Thursdays, May 4 – June 8, 2023

Are you ready to go beyond the basics with your rigid heddle loom? Join us for a deep dive into more ways to use pick-up sticks and your hands to create texture and pattern, plus some fun exploration of color-and-weave effects. We’re also going to cover the details of project planning, culminating in designing your own project that you will warp in our last class session.
