Does the nice weather inspire your creativity? We’ve got just the thing! We’ve added some brand new classes to our summer line up, as well as more sessions of our most popular standbys – including three new sessions of Introduction to Rigid Heddle Weaving. Classes fill fast as we head into summer, so register soon to be sure you have a spot!
Learn to make your own yarn in what is sure to be an amazing Drop Spindle class with Lesley Fowler… Take a natural dye class (or two!) with Jackie Ottino Graf… Before you know it you’ll be your own personal yarn shop. There’s something for everyone and more on the way this summer!
Materials are generally included in all our classes, and equipment is either provided or available to rent when needed. Class sizes are limited so that every student receives plenty of personal attention. Plus, students receive great discounts on all the fiber arts goodies at the shop during the class and for the month after the class. Click below to see full descriptions for each class!
