Expired Textured Weaves on the Rigid Heddle Loom

2 Day Workshop with LeslieAnn Bestor
Fridays, December 9-16, 2022
12:00-2:00pm
Ready for some new ways to add texture and depth to your rigid heddle weaving? We’ll be using pick-up sticks to manipulate the warp threads and weave cloth with warp and weft floats, creating both texture and lace. Yes, this means you can weave structures like Huck lace and M’s and O’s on your rigid heddle loom! Explore new dimension with your RH loom.
