We offer a variety of small, personal weaving classes. If you see a class that you would like to take but it is not
scheduled or at a time that you can’t come please email Robin to schedule a class.
Fall 2022: I started to offer virtual classes in 2021, but it seems difficult to offer the kind of class I like to present.
The exception is our Wednesday Weavers—Zoom is great for that! And we throw in a few in-person activities as well.
Weave a V-Shawl (and learn double weave at the same time)
Weave a V-Shawl (and learn double weave at the same time)
Create a fabulous one of a kind shawl that stays on the shoulders! The V-Shaped Shawl is a favorite style--due to it's unique shape it stays put on the shoulders while covering all of the back.
Use double weave and a unique method of weaving a fold to weave this shawl. Learn to plan future shawls, using stripes, plaids, and various weave structures. You will complete your shawl in class and go home with a plan (and maybe a warp) for your next shawl.
The class is appropriate for newer weavers as long as you have warped and woven at least one project. It is a good review of warping technique. Weavers who are more experienced, but want to learn about double weave and/or back-to-front warping will also enjoy the class.
Upcoming Classes:
W/Th May 29-30, 2024
M/T June 17-18, 2024
The v-shawl class can also be offered as a guild workshop at your location.
Participants will wind a warp and dress the loom in class. The recommended class project will be 18 to 22” wide and use yarns that are sett at 6 to 8 epi for a single layer. (We will double that sett for this project.) It is ideal if you can bring a loom to work on, but I do have some here for 18” wide warps.
Class size: 2-5 students
Experience: Basic weaving experience, even if it’s just taking the Learn to Weave class.
Price: $250 plus yarn

If minimum number of students isn't met one week prior to class date the class may be cancelled. If the class is cancelled you will receive a refund or apply the fee to a future class.
