Are you ready to play with the rigid heddle loom pick up stick, but are somewhat intimidated? This workshop will give you the opportunity to develop your weaving ideas by adding an endless array of design possibilities to your plain weave. We will explore some preliminary designs such as leno, honeycomb, lace variations, and the wonders of working with thick and thin yarns. This workshop is open to anyone that has woven previously.
