Join Swedish textile artist and educator Kerstin Neumüller for two online sessions to design and start weaving a repp band on a small rigid heddle-style band weaving loom. The first session will focus on creating different patterns in woven repp bands, a style in which warp threads tightly cover the weft threads. Kerstin will share various possible patterns, providing students with a starting point for designing their band. Students will then use any small rigid heddle-style loom they have on hand and their yarn to prepare the warp and weft for weaving a repp band in the second class. This Virtual class is an excellent option for students needing a refresher on band weaving or anyone who owns Kerstin’s book, Simple Weave, but wants to work alongside her live. A wide-ranging discussion of project options, including small looms, materials, and tips for weaving bands, will take place during work time. Skill level: Open to all skill levels Ages: Suitable for ages 12+. This is a live Virtual class taught over Zoom. Students need a strong internet connection and a device with video capabilities. To participate in this class, students must have their video on. Students provide their own materials for this Virtual class; please see the full materials list here.
