Join us for Card Weaving on Rigid Heddle with Helen Rau

Tablet or Card weaving is an ancient weaving technique which goes back 2,000 years!  In this class you will pick out a pattern of your choice and the yarns to weave a beautiful band/strap from start to finish!

All supplies will be provided, but you are welcome to use your own RH loom & cards if you prefer.

This class is open to any skill level.



What to Bring:

  • $15 supply fee (for pattern & yarns)
  • Four chopsticks
  • Scissors 
  • Lunch & drink
  • Jacket/sweater (the room gets very chilly)
  • Notepad and pen


Artist Bio:

Helen Rau has been weaving since 1995. Her favorite process of weaving is warping, and she loves creating kitchen towels, rag rugs, and scarves. Initially working on a floor loom, she transitioned to Rigid Heddle to save on space. Helen lives part-time in Portland, Oregon, and her other passions are spinning cotton, and spending time in her kitchen!

How do I get to the Studio? From the Chinatown Gateway Garage, take the elevator to the 2nd floor and walk to the large double doors on the left. Enter the gallery and turn left; we are the last door on the left, past the kitchen. If you are parked elsewhere, walk up the steps to the DAC gift shop, go past it to find the elevator, and follow the instructions above to access the studio. There is a handicap ramp if you cannot walk up the stairs for the DAC building on the Nu'uanu entrance side. Walk towards the street lights, and you will see the ramp; you will need to walk through the courtyard to the elevator.
