Rigid Heddle Weaving
with Alyson Scott
AX Workshop Room | 12 Maple Ave.
Saturday, December 5 | 9am-4pm
$150 per person | Ages 16+
Join us for a full-day introduction to rigid heddle weaving, taught by experienced weaver and instructor Alyson Scott. In this hands-on workshop, students will learn the complete process of warping a rigid heddle loom and weaving their very own scarf from start to finish.
Using beautifully hand-dyed and spun alpaca merino yarn from Legacy Lane Fiber Co, each participant will create a one-of-a-kind scarf that showcases both their new weaving skills and the unique character of the fiber. Whether you’re brand new to weaving or looking to refresh your skills, this immersive class offers a relaxed and supportive environment to explore the art of loom weaving.
By the end of the day, students will have gained enough experience to decide whether they’d like to continue their weaving journey further.
*Students are encouraged to bring their own water and lunch.*
