Rigid Heddle Weaving

Even if you've never touched a loom, Angela's class will guide you through preparation, the weaving process and finishing techniques.

A Note from Angela Tong, Instructor of Rigid Heddle Weaving

Weaving is more than fun. It's creative, relaxing, and rewarding. When you weave, you bring together different yarns and fabrics and unify them in a single, unique project. Weaving is versatile: Make clothes, accessories and home decor in fibers from plain to fancy. Even if you've never touched a loom before, I can teach you to make wonderful projects. My class will introduce you to two different looms, and guide you through preparation, the weaving process, and a range of finishing techniques. Enroll in this class, and we'll have fun and weave beautiful things!
