Lace Weaving Sampler - Rigid Heddle Loom
Students are invited to play with pick-up weaving techniques that are suitable for both rigid heddle & shaft looms! In this 3-session series, join instructor Jess McDonald as you learn how to create stunning lace structures on a pre-warped rigid heddle loom!
The workshop will begin with the theory behind hand-manipulated lace techniques and how to achieve them with plain weave. From there, students will head to the loom and sample lace techniques, including Leno Lace, Danish Medallion, Brooks Bouquet, and more! Participants will leave with a lovely sampler that contains their new lace weaving skills!
