Your Instructor
Kelly is a self taught weaver with a big passion for sharing the timeless art of weaving with others. Kelly is known for her calm and slow teaching style and she bases her classes on how she would have liked to have been taught. She designs all of her own projects and caters for levels from beginner to intermediate. Most available classes are for the rigid heddle loom, floor, table and inkle loom weaving.
The class demonstrates a pinwheel Table Topper (table centrepiece) as the project, but calculations are also provided for a Table Runner if that is your preference.
This class assumes that you have basic rigid heddle weaving knowledge and can warp your loom. Taking the "Converting drafts to the rigid heddle loom" class would be very beneficial prior to commencing this class.
Includes almost 2 hours of video time and printable PDF's.
If you are a beginner weaver, I recommend you start with a more simple project.
