Design and Weave a plaid on a Rigid Heddle Loom
Have you taken beginning weaving and are ready for more? Are you tired of following
patterns and want to create your own? Are you interested in color and weave but not
quite sure where to start?
If you answered yes to these questions then this class is for you!
In this hands on one day workshop we will discuss inspiration, color values and number
sequences. We will study a number of color and weave techniques and how they work
together in plaids. Each student will then design their own custom plaid. We will warp
our looms and start weaving as time allows. All students must bring their own loom.
 
Supplies:
- Bring your own Rigid Heddle Loom with all parts and 8 dent heddle
- At least two Skeins Worsted Weight Wool - Available at the shop
- Tape Measure
- Scissors
- Pencil (colored pencils, crayons helpful)
- Darning or Tapestry Needle
- Reading Glasses if you wear them
- Inspiration photo
 
Instructor: Hanna Gritton
I am a fiber artist with a passion for weaving. I work and live in the beautiful Front
Range of Colorado and have had the opportunity to study and take workshops from
renowned artists. Last year I won the Colorado State Tartan Challenge and had the joy
of participating in the Rocky Mountain Weavers Guild annual sale. This year I joined the
South Suburban (SoSu) Artist Collective and have a studio located in the Streets at
Southglenn Art District.
I am very excited to return to Blazing Star Ranch where my weaving adventure began. I
fell “heddle over heals” in love with rigid heddle weaving. Since then I’ve taken up other
weaving looms but I will always have a special place in my heart for the rigid heddle.
Creating cloth on a loom is a magical and fun art and I cannot wait to share it with you!
