Ready for winter classes!

We’re excited to announce the first round of classes for the upcoming winter months! There is something for everyone, with offerings for various fiber arts and levels of expertise. Keep an eye out, as we will be adding more for the spring soon – including Ann Budd coming back for two classes at Halcyon Yarn in April! For more information about each class, or to sign up, check out the full class list below, and in the online class calendar. Feel free to contact us with any questions, we look forward to seeing you soon!

Here are a few highlights…

On Sunday December 18th, some pre-holiday fun will be had at our back-to-back Needle Felted Sheep and Needle Felted Santa Claus classes. Join Romney Ridge owner, shepherdess, and fiber artist, Kelly Dodge, as she teaches classes featuring two of her wonderful needle felting kits. Take just one, or take both, and spend the day creating these whimsical little sculptures. The Santa class requires some prior needle felting experience.

Remember, the shop will be open Sundays during the holiday season, so stock up on all the adorable Romney Ridge needle felt kits!

This January, join Barbara Burns for Tapestry Weaving: Beginning and Beyond. This weekend-long workshop is perfect for all skill levels and serves as an introduction or brush up depending on your skill level. Barbara Burns studied tapestry at West Dean College in Sussex, England and has received awards from as far away as Serbia, and was recently included in the publication “Fiber Art Masters,” available from Maine Fiberarts. After the Tapestry Weaving class she’ll also be offering a series of afternoon follow up sessions and studio time, open to both class participants and others who’d like the opportunity to work on their own pieces with Barbara’s guidance. We’re excited to have Barbara joining us, check out her website to see her incredible artwork and learn more.

Please note, Barbara will also be hosting a series of follow-up afternoons of guided studio time each Thursday in February from 2:30 to 5:30, for $25 per session. Students do not need to have taken the class to participate and may take one or all of the sessions.
