Our September 9th program is a hands-on continuation of the “Orientation to the Rigid Heddle Loom” presented in the Spring. Participants will see a demonstration of two finger manipulation techniques, Leno and Danish Medallions, followed by time to actually weave a Mug Rug on a loom. Once comfortable with plain weave the weaver can try adding one or both techniques to their rug. A finishing technique, Damascus fringe, will also be covered.
