Marshfield School of Weaving

Schedule For All Classes in 2012

 

This year we are trying something different in our scheduling - Theme Weeks - so that students can choose from a much wider range of weaves in any given week than we have done in the past. Each student still focuses on one project in the chosen weave. We will offer these theme weeks two weeks out of the month and the beginning, intermediate and custom classes in the other two weeks.  Dyeing Classes are two day intensives as usual.  Call if you are interested in spinning.
