Discover the beauty of warp-faced fabric. In our Inkle weaving course, you’ll learn everything from warping the loom to developing your own designs. We’ll get started with warping, then weaving plain weave, and finally we’ll jump into pick-up patterns. You’ll even get to design your own pick-up patterns. You’ll end up with a set of keychains that will make great gifts or can be added to your handwoven collection.

Testimonials
Complete set of skills to be successful on my first Inkle and to play on my way to develop further. Well structured in that each small chunk builds on the previous. Best practices are gently reinforced w/repetition.
The course was great! Sienna Bosch was very clear in both the instructions and demonstrations. My first Schacht course and my first Inkle weaving. I used to do finger weaving and my takeaway is the Inkle weaving is fun, less time consuming and easier then Fingerweaving. I do love them both. his was a lesson in Inkle weaving made easy.
Clarity of spoken, visual instructions, with written and well illustrated instructions available, too.

Instructor

Sienna Bosch
Sienna grew up in Fort Collins, Colorado. She grew up in a family of craftspeople; her father is a woodturner. Sienna learned to weave while working towards her Bachelor's of Fine Arts at Colorado State University. She went into school thinking that she would study sculpture, but after one project on the loom, she discovered a passion for weaving. Alongside fiber art, Sienna studied art education. She was a summer intern for Schacht Spindle Company during the summer of 2019. She warped and wove on many looms in preparation for the Schacht's 50th Anniversary. Now, Sienna is back at Schacht as the Content Developer and Education Specialist.
