Rigid Heddle - Adventures in Color and Weave

Class Description: Jane Patrick, author of The Weaver's Idea Book: Creative Cloth on a Rigid Heddle Loom, said, "There's nothing plain about plain weave." By changing color and patterns of color in the warp and weft of your hand wovens, beautiful designs will emerge in plain weave. Color and weave is the process of doing just that. It's also a great opportunity to play with different colors and see how they interact. In this 12-hour class, students will learn about color theory and learn more about project planning. We will work together on creating a color and weave sampler, then designing a color and weave project. You will see why plain weave isn't plain at all!
