Backstrap Rigid Heddle Band Weaving

Jennifer Williams

Saturday All Day-SOLD OUT

Weave bands with beautiful pick-up patterns on a rigid heddle. The cleverly designed Scandinavian style rigid heddle makes weaving pick-up a joy. A cord around your waist, a warped rigid heddle, and you are ready to weave.

Weaving on a backstrap rigid heddle is a tranquil experience as you are quite literally one with the loom. This workshop will teach you how to warp a rigid heddle loom and weave both plain weave bands and pick-up patterned bands.

Skill Level: Beginner to Advanced Beginner – some previous weaving experience helpful but not required.
