Log Cabin Placemats on a Rigid Heddle Loom - IP- Summer 2025

This exciting workshop explores some innovative techniques! Students learn new tips on multiple color threading, a yardage-saving tie-on technique, measuring work while weaving, ganging up multiple pieces on one warp, spreading a clean open shed with a pick up stick, clean edges while changing colors, two hemming options and all while working with four colors at a time in both warp and weft!

Get ready for the season and create a lovely set of four placemats (instructions for accompanying table runner included.)

Bring your loom to class, learn new exciting things hands-on while working at your own pace. You can finish up your placemats at home. Handouts with color photos and instructions are provided. (Finished placemats are approximately 12” x 16” and runner 12” x 36”)

For the comfort and safety of our students and teachers, students may be asked to wear a mask during in person classes and workshops, and masks are available upon request.
