Learn to weave on a rigid heddle loom with yde, founder and owner of Irene Textile. In this workshop, you'll weave a scarf while learning the basic techniques of weaving.
The goal for the workshop is to provide each student with the skills on how to set-up a loom, weave and finishing techniques. In this workshop, you will weave a scarf on a rigid heddle loom. The time you will have to weave will depend on how quickly the loom will be set up. Students who buy a loom or bring their own loom can take away unfinished projects and continue weaving at their own pace.
