Study Group: Rigid Heddle – Desert Fiber Arts

Rigid Heddle Study Groups - Desert Fiber Arts Guild, Kennewick, WA

The goal of the RHSG is to help new weavers learn everything there is to know about weaving and to help more experienced weavers expand their knowledge of weaving on the ever so humble rigid heddle loom. Using a rigid heddle loom is an excellent place to begin exploring the craft and art of weaving. Easily portable, the techniques learned for weaving are directly applicable to weaving on a floor loom. Whether a new weaver or a weaver wanting to brush up on skills and learn more, the RHSG is a place of friendly assistance. As a member of Desert Fiber Arts and participant of the RHSG, our motto of ‘Each One, Teach One’ is always in action. In addition to basic techniques, pick-up and finger-controlled patterns, we have also tackled weaving with two heddles, double-weave, and inlay weaves

RHSG meets on the 2nd and 4th Monday of the month from 1:00 –4:00 pm
