#109  Joan Sheridan – Intro to Inkle Weaving     Full day Wednesday $100

Skill level:  Weaving experience helpful, but not necessary.

Workshop Description:  Learn how to thread an inkle loom and read a pattern. We will make two bands in class, one plain weave and one using pick-up patterning. This class will open a whole new world to you, whether you are a reenactor or simply a modern crafter looking to expand your horizons. Bands have been used for thousands of years to contain things, close bags, keep hair neat, as a button band to match sweaters, to hold your socks up or your blouse to your body. No prior weaving experience is required.

Participants should bring:  Inkle loom, belt shuttle, scissors, erasable colored pencils and note-taking material.

Homework:  Ensure loom is in working order.  If in doubt, send photo to instructor.  Looms and belt shuttles may be obtained through instructor and delivered at class.  Contact:  Heritagespinning@gmail.com

Material Fee:  $25  yarn, handouts, keychain hardware, heddle material, and other helpful weaving accessories.
