Winter 2025 Classes

This winter I’ll be continuing classes at The Fiber Loft, A Place to Weave and The Unruly Stitch.

At The Fiber Loft, I’ll be adding a color palette class and a tablet weaving class to my usual weaving and spinning lineup. The Color Palette class is appropriate for all fiber creators – weavers, spinners, knitters, crocheters, quilters, and felters. One session will be offered during February school vacation week, when students aged 8-12 are welcome to join the class with an adult.

At A Place to Weave, I’ll be teaching some select specialized classes, including a new class on documenting weaving designs.

I’ll be back at The Unruly Stitch on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month, and am adding an advanced beginner spinning class to the basic wheel spinning and drop spindle classes.
