Description
Explore the wonderful world of weaving using different looms! First, we’ll use the Schacht Cricket rigid heddle loom to weave a cotton scarf. We will design a stripe warp using different colored cotton yarns, then thread the loom and weave the scarf. For the second rigid heddle loom project you will have the choice of weaving a pillow, a cotton scarf, felted coasters, or a felted purse (project to be chosen in collaboration with the instructor and based on time and interest), or working on the other projects available in the classroom: potholder looms, band looms, bead looms, cardboard looms and “baskets”. You will work at your own pace and will choose which projects you want to complete; some will complete more projects than others. Students must be able to tie an overhand knot. Parents will email the instructor with color choices for the students’ scarf before the class.
