Very informative, I think it needed to be a 2 day course to finish the item

The class was excellent. I learnt loads about rigid heddle looms and weaving more generally. Maria was so knowledgeable and trouble shooted at least 10 problems I managed to create. I've definitely got the bug for weaving now.
