Rigid Heddle Warping Refresher Class
Instructors: Liz Statz and Jill Bishop
Date: Saturday, September 26, 2026
Time: 10A-1P

Do you own a rigid heddle loom and can’t remember how to warp it?  This is the class for you! 

This class will take you step by step through the Direct Warping process of a rigid heddle loom.  Bring in your own loom or BUY ONE and you will leave with a successfully warped loom. If you intend to purchase a loom, we will need to know the Thursday before the class so we can assemble a Cricket ahead of time for use during the class. 

All threads are provided and you will also leave with a handout to aid you when you are back at home.

This class is for people who already have weaving experience and want a refresher course on how to warp a loom.

Understanding Weaving Drafts and Basic Weaves
Instructor: Loretta Stacy
When: Wednesday, October 14 AND 21, 2026
Time: 1P to 4P
Cost: $98 (Students are also asked to purchase a book ahead of time - see below - and to bring $3 to class to cover handouts provided by the instructor)

This will be a 2 part class for intermediate and advanced weavers. The first class will cover understanding weaving drafts. The second class will cover basic weaves.

Students will learn to read a draft and do drawdowns so they can learn to make their own designs in the future.

https://www.yarnbarn-ks.com
https://www.eugenetextilecenter.com
https://woolery.com.

The cost of the book is approximately $25. This is a good reference book to have in your weaving library.

There will be an additional $3 charge for handouts payable to the instructor on the first day of class. 

Students should bring to class:

• The Complete Book of Drafting for Handweavers
• A good pencil
• Eraser
• Colored pencils for the second-class period.
