Learn the ancient fiber craft of weaving your own fabric using a Rigid Heddle Loom and natural fibers. In his hands-on workshop, Weaver & Dyer Jeanine Ertl will teach you everything you need to know to warp and weave on your own. This class is perfect for anyone who’s been curious about weaving beyond a lap loom and wants to learn the warping and weaving processes. We’ll dive into fiber & fabric and demystify the process of getting set up (otherwise known as warping a loom), weaving, and finally, finishing and removing a woven fiber good from the loom! And, you’ll go home with handwoven fabric in-hand. Length of the final piece will depend on the individual’s own pace.

In this workshop you’ll learn how: a rigid heddle loom works; to plan a textile (e.g. sett, basic pattern & choosing fiber, etc.); to warp a rigid heddle; to weave; to remove your handwoven; and to finish a textile.

All materials to warp & weave a sample are included for use. If you’re interested in learning to warp and weave on your own rigid heddle loom, please email Instructor Jeanine Ertl in advance.
No experience necessary. Ages 14+ welcome! 

OPTION: Students will weave on Ashford looms. The instructor will have a variety of Ashford looms present for purchase in class. Please contact Jeanine at aninidesigns@gmail.com if you have any questions or specific looms you’re interested in beforehand.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
Always interested in finding ways to add harmony, beauty and depth to my life and space, my journey with fiber and textiles began as a child. I adored piles of colorful yarn and fabric. I had always felt that in some other life, I’d been someone who breathed life into these mediums. As my path wound its way, I eventually dove headfirst into fiber arts, learning to weave at a Cistercian monastery on the Lost Coast of California. I am nurtured, connected and aligned while handmaking. My small business, ANINI Designs, specializes in offering a variety of craft supplies–natural dyes, natural fiber dyeables, and handwoven &/or hand-dyed textiles. I enjoy creating a sustainable, eco-friendly, inspiring future of mindfully making, exploring and teaching these craft mediums to you. – Jeanine Ertl

  1. Susie Armstrong (verified owner) –

    I took this class last summer and it was excellent. The instructor was very flexible and helpful (I had brought my own loom I had just bought), and showed us ways to warp I would have had a hard time figuring out on my own. She also shared her sources, had small looms for sale, and it was really fun to learn with others. I highly recommend this class as a way to get started on these simple, but useful rigid heddle looms. It’s addictive!
