So It's Been Awhile: A refresher weekend for lapsed
handweavers OR Make this bag in a weekend!
This weekend intensive is
for folks who've had a weaving class but need to get
back in the game. If you need a quick refresher or are
stuck on a project and need help over the hump, this
class is for you. You can bring your own loom and work
on a project of your choosing, or you can use one of our looms
and make this cute, log cabin draw-string bag or other quick
project that can be completed over the weekend.
We’ll start Friday
evening, 7-9p, planning projects and selecting
materials. We’ll work all day Saturday, 9a-4p, to get
you up to speed.
The Studio (and
instructor) will be available all day on Sunday to help
you wrap up, so there’s no rush and no pressure.
Limit of 4 students
per class
