    Join us for Huck Lace & Open Studio with Mari Macmillan and Sidney Lynch.

    Huck, short for huckaback, is a fabric in which small float blocks alternate with small plain weave blocks to produce an endless number of beautiful patterns.

    Using 8/2 cotton with a four yard warp, warping back to front, we will weave three 35" long dishtowels, each with a different huck pattern. Huck is easy & quick to weave using only one shuttle. Patterns are created by changing the tie-ups, not the threading.  We will leave some room on the warp for sampling.

    We are also offering the opportunity for participants to weave their own project during this class instead of following the planned class structure. There have been requests from people to rent a loom. By signing up for this class, you can do whatever you want on the loom with the benefit of being able to come in to the Sunday class time to consult with the instructor about your project. You can weave on your loom throughout the nine-week period at any time there is no other class in session.

    This class is designed for intermediate weavers. There will be a $25 supply fee for 8/2 cotton paid to the instructor on the first day of class. 

    What to Bring

    • $25 supply fee
    • Notebook and pen/pencil
    • Scissors

    Wear comfortable clothing.

    Instructor Bios

    Mari Macmillan has been weaving for 30 years. Early on, someone told her about "Hi-Tech, Hi-Touch" and she balanced a highly technical medical career in pharmacy with the high touch need to make things completely by hand.  She likes to create functional items that show her love of color. Two of her non-functional pieces have been purchased by the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts.  Many towels have been purchased at the Hui booth at the Kalama Fair in December. Mari also paints.

    Sidney Lynch has been weaving for many years and enjoys trying the various weave structures.

    Join us for Beginning Batik with Liz Train.


    With her lively, inventive approach to making art, Liz will show you how to make your imagination come to life with color and wax.




    Batik is an Indonesian word meaning writing with wax. Waxed areas create a resist design that dyes and paint cannot penetrate. Traditional batik techniques involve successive applications of wax and dye, submersing the fabric in a dye vat, one color at a time and layering the wax resist.

    In this class we use a more modern technique of painting diluted acrylic paints instead of vat dyes. This allows the artist to create a variety of colors next to each other without the colors mixing with the previous layer. Traditional Indonesian tools and brushes will be used to apply hot soy wax resist to the fabric. Resist and dyed areas can be layered to create complex designs and lovely textures. Students will be able to create several samples of finished artworks.

    There will be an additional $20 supply fee payable to the instructor which includes: one yard of fabric, paints, dyes, wax, and glue.

    What to bring:

    • $20 supply fee 
    • Wear old clothes or bring an apron. 
    • Students may wish to bring other fabrics after they have used the yard of white cotton polyester that will be included in the supply fee.

    Join us for Rigid Heddle Weaving with Reina Young

    This class introduces new weavers to the portable rigid heddle loom. Weavers have the option to create a scarf, table runner, or placemats. We will go over different pattern techniques, play with color palettes, experiment with various fibers, and learn how to warp and dress the loom.

    The rigid heddle loom is essentially a rectangular, wooden frame loom. However, it differs from the simple frame looms that are now readily available and often used for tapestry, as it has space for a heddle/reed, making it capable of producing sheds (gaps or spaces) to weave through. It is a 2 shaft loom, but has further reaching capabilities.

    This class is open to any skill level. There will be an additional supply fee of $25, to include yarn and weaving tools, payable to the instructor on the first day of class. All supplies and materials will be provided. 

    What to Bring: 

    • $25 supply fee
    • Notebook and pen

    Join us for Sashiko Stitching with Wendy Arbeit.

    Sashiko is a distinctive Japanese embroidery style that uses the running stitch alone to form geometric patterns and stylized images. In last year’s sashiko class we explored a technique that creates geometric designs that are sewn on counted thread cloth. In this class you’ll find out about the geometric patterns that can be sewn onto plain cloth and you’ll sew one with a marine or floral motif that you’ll take home adorning a new tote bag.



    We’ll email you the patterns for three scenes. You’ll select your favorite and print it out, saving the others for working on your own. In class you’ll stitch the pattern you selected, then sew it onto a tote bag. We provide in the color of your choice.

    Sashiko refers to the humble running stitch once sewn in multiple rows to repair clothing. The stitching has evolved over the years to represent traditional patterns and designs. Today it is used to decorate clothing and other functional items, and to embellish modern wall hangings. Examples will be shared in class.

    There will be an additional $10 supply fee paid to the instructor on the first day of class which includes red fabric, white sashiko thread, needle, and pages of photos of sashiko ideas, patterns, and background information.

    What to bring:

    • $10 Supply fee
    • Scissors

    Instructor Bio

    Wendy Arbeit received an MA in Art from Columbia University. She started making crafts from an early age and continued after her degree by learning the traditional arts of beading, back-strap weaving, basket making, and twining from Iroquois, Mexican, and Pacific island people. She learned sashiko and temari from Japanese books at a time when none were available in English and kumihimo at a Japan-sponsored program.

    She has written four traditional-craft related books, What Are Fronds For? a manual for plaiting coconut fronds; Baskets in Polynesia, a survey of central Polynesian baskets; Tapa in Tonga, an introduction to Tongan barkcloth; and finally the award-winning, Links to the Past: the Work of Early Hawaiian Artisans, a compendium of 1000 objects made within 50 years of Western contact.

    Join us for Basic Weaving II with Joan Namkoong

    Practice your loom setup skills and techniques while you learn about Color and Weave. Color and Weave is based on a straight draw threading (1-2-3-4), plain weave and twill treadlings — all of which you already know. This simple design concept can result in cloth with pattern: stripes, checks and pinwheels in one cloth, log cabin in the second cloth. You’ll learn to warp with 2 colors and 2 threads and how to use two shuttles. You’ll also learn some simple design concepts for handwoven cloth.

    By the end of class, weavers will have their one-of-a-kind project to take home. 

    Prerequisite: Basic Weaving I

    There will be an additional $20 supply fee payable to the instructor on first day of class which includes all weaving supplies.

    Join us for Rigid Heddle Weaving with Reina Young

    This class introduces new weavers to the portable rigid heddle loom. Weavers have the option to create a scarf, table runner, or placemats. We will go over different pattern techniques, play with color palettes, experiment with various fibers, and learn how to warp and dress the loom.

    The rigid heddle loom is essentially a rectangular, wooden frame loom. However, it differs from the simple frame looms that are now readily available and often used for tapestry, as it has space for a heddle/reed, making it capable of producing sheds (gaps or spaces) to weave through. It is a 2 shaft loom, but has further reaching capabilities.

    This class is open to any skill level. There will be an additional supply fee of $25, to include yarn and weaving tools, payable to the instructor on the first day of class. All supplies and materials will be provided. 

    What to Bring: 

    • $25 supply fee
    • Notebook and pen

    Join us for Artist Trading Cards: Print and Swap with Sara Ricer

    Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) are little pieces of art the size of a baseball card or playing card (3.5" x 2.5"). In this workshop, we will each create a series of ATCs with watercolor and linoleum/rubber block printing. Each participant will create a flowing watercolor background and then design and carve their own block stamp to be used on each card in their set. At the end of the workshop, participants will be encouraged to trade their cards with each other, so that everyone can have their own set of creations from other artists in the class, in addition to their own design.

    No prior experience required. All materials will be provided.

    There will be a $10 supply fee, for paper, watercolor, lino cut material, ink, tape, etc., payable to the instructor on the day of class.

    What to bring:

    • $10 supply fee
    • Wear comfortable clothing. It shouldn't be super messy, but we will be using watercolor and inks, so staining or spills are always possible.

    Instructor Bio

    Sara Ricer - I think art should be accessible to everyone. My number one wish is that every person finds some way to create for the sake of creating. When creating, I like to give my pieces a little bit of whimsy and imagination, while still being functional. I like the idea that art can be carried around in your pocket. I like the idea that no space is too small for a little bit of imagination. Instagram: @Mountains.And.Clouds

    Join us for Woven Shibori Prayer Flags with Ghislaine Chock.

    Have you seen colorful Tibetan prayer flags strung from trees or balconies and blowing in the wind? Weave your own flags to hang and spread positivity throughout your environment or community.

    In this adventure you will weave five 18"x18" flags and dye them in an indigo vat using the "taiten" shibori technique in which warp threads are pulled tight to create a resist for dyeing. Woven of cellulose fibers, the blue and white flags will then be treated with a tannin and mordant before each is overdyed in one of five botanical colors. The auspicious flags are strung outside left to right in order by color: 1-Blue = sky, 2-White = air, 3-Red = fire, 4-Green = water, and 5-Yellow = earth. The five natural elements signify balance. They sync with your surroundings and wait for the wind to spread your blessings. 

    Required Skill Level:

    For this class students must be able to measure their own warp threads, and set up a 4 -harness loom, warping front to back or back to front.

    There will be an additional supply fee of $40 payable to the instructor on the day of class. The supply fee includes yarns, tannins, mordants, and botanical dyes.

    What to Bring:

    • $40 supply fee
    • Weaving tools: scissors, measuring tape, calculator, note pad, pen, sley tools, shuttles, and bobbins.
    • Dyeing equipment: protective gloves, apron, 2 large buckets 2-5 gallons, 5 zip lock bags for wet dyed cloth transport.
    • Beverages, snacks, and whatever makes you comfortable.
