This weaving course will offer students of all skill levels the opportunity to learn to weave or expend their weaving skills using floor looms.

Being in the presence of instructors Nancy Marsh and Suzanne Halvorson, who have more than a century of weaving and teaching experience between them, will offer personalized weaving experience for each participant. Nancy and Suzanne’s desire to pass on their legacy on to a new generation of weavers will make this a wholly unique experience. The focus will be on the weaving of projects using techniques that will match the skill level and interests of the participants. Students will be able to choose yarns and colors from the vast library of yarn available at the Guild. Beginners welcome.
