Teaching update

There have been lots of changes in the fiber arts world – and lots of things have stayed the same! So I wanted to post an update on where I’m teaching and how to find the classes you’re looking for.

For the most part, I’m teaching classes at A Place to Weave in Leominster Mass. That includes several different entry level and advanced beginner classes in shaft loom weaving, inkle weaving, and spinning on both a wheel and a drop spindle. On the website, you’ll find classes taught by me as well as many other wonderful textile instructors under the lessons tab and the workshop tab. I also offer private lessons there.

In addition, I teach at guilds and conferences locally and afar. (I’m looking forward to teaching at the ANWG Conference in June 2027!) I’m available both in person and for Zoom presentations or private lessons.

There’s a summary of classes, workshops and lectures here. I try to keep it up to date, but I really like weaving more than I like working on my computer! If you have questions, feel free to contact me directly.
