Elizabeth Harrington

Rigid Heddle Weaving

From scarves to recycled plastic, Elizabeth Harrington has done it all

when it comes to weaving with her rigid heddle loom. Watch Elizabeth

demonstrate her expertise, ask questions and learn how to tell your

warp from your weft! Harrington was introduced to spinning five years

ago. She taught herself to spin on a CD spindle, and quickly fell under

the spell of the fiber arts. She loves sharing the discovery of spinning

and weaving with others and is a popular instructor at the Weavers

Guild of Minnesota and at the Textile Center’s summer camps.

3-4 pm

buttons, lace, scraps of trim or a bit of embroidery to create a cuff

bracelet you would be proud to wear on any occasion. Recom-

mended forages 13 and up.
