Tell them about Syne Mitchell’s class in rigid heddle weaving at CNCH 2012!.
The class is a wonderful introduction to rigid-heddle weaving and to weaving in general. Students warp and weave off a scarf in a day using gorgeous hand-painted warp and matching weft. Lessons learned along the way include: peg method of warping a rigid-heddle loom, how to weave efficiently and well (and get good selvedges), how to calculate how much yarn is needed for a project, color theory for weaving, repair techniques for weaving errors off the loom, and finishing techniques.
