Inkle weaving is done on a narrow portable loom. We will use inkle looms to explore weaving with a simple heddle system to create a basic warp-faced fabric. You will learn to warp your loom, tie heddles, create two different sheds to pass the shuttle through, how to keep your edges tidy, how to fix a broken warp thread, and how to begin and end your project. This a great class for both beginners and more experienced weavers. Beginners will learn the basic principles of weaving, and for experience weavers will get to explore a new technique.
