À propos
Have you ever thought about trying your hand at weaving, but didn't know where or how to start? Join Darlene Hecnar on Sunday at 11am for this 2hr introductory class and learn the basics to get you started.
This workshop will include an intro to weaving techniques used in card weaving (making a sash using the Viking pattern) and rigid heddle clasp weaving (making a merino/silk scarf). The images shown demonstrate the techniques used, not the finished project. These will be the techniques used for the workshop but the finished projects will be different for each student.
