SUMMARY:Rigid Heddle Weaving with Jill Kettler
DESCRIPTION:Date: Sunday\, Dec 8th\nTime: 10:30-2:30pm\nAll materials provided\nFee: $85\nLocation: The Studio in Troy\n	Welcome Jill Kettler back to the studio for another wonderful day of weaving and learning. You’ve seen her work in many local art festivals and you KNOW you love it as much as I do. I have been coveting one of her amazing creations for a very long time. Her sense of color and texutre are amazing. Now\, you can spend time with her and learn the art of rigid heddle weaving from the master\, all while creating your own beautiful lace scarf. Jill will have looms pre-warped and ready to weave. You’ll go home with a lot more knowledge and a GORGEOUS new scarf.  \nSeating is very limited\, so sign up to reserve your seat. Once your registration is complete\, there are no refunds. If you cannot attend\, you may transfer your registration to another student. You may contact Christy to see if there is a waiting list\, but all transfers will be the students’ responsibility. \n  \nIf you find yourself hopelessly addicted to rigid heddle weaving at the end of class (it IS highly possible)\, Jill has looms for sale!! \n	No experience necessary. All supplies provided. \n*We will break for a half hour lunch. There is a small refrigerator in the studio if you’d like to bring a lunch. There are also multiple food locations in town.
