About the event

Rigid Heddle Loom Workshop
Learn how to use a rigid heddle loom, with weaving tutor Agnis Smallwood.

About this Event

Learn how to use a rigid heddle loom. This workshop will take you through how to set up a rigid heddle loom, from planning out your warp, to adding a warp to your loom, to beginning to weave. There will be lots of trouble shooting hints and tips along the way.

This workshop is designed to help you begin your weaving journey using a rigid heddle loom rather than going home with a finished product.


There are two options for this workshop please select the appropriate option at the checkout:

Option one: Bring your own rigid heddle loom along with you to the workshop, this will mean you know exactly how to use your loom and will go home with a project ready to continue weaving at home. Please ensure you have your loom as well as Reed / Warping Peg and Clamps with you for the workshop.

Option two: Use one of our rigid heddle looms for the workshop. This will give you the opportunity to explore how to set up the loom and begin weaving a small sample to take away with you at the end of the day. This is a great option for anyone wanting to explore what weaving on a rigid heddle loom is like and if it is something you would like to do more of in the future.
