Learn Weaving, Dyeing and Sewing
One of the most frequent questions I get asked is "Do you teach?" "Yes I do! What do you want to learn?"
I teach multiple classes a year at the local Triangle Fiber Arts Center in Durham, NC. My classes include floor loom weaving (beginning and intermediate techniques), rigid heddle weaving, and sewing. To be honest, I try to update this site whenever I have classes scheduled, but it's a lot to keep up with. The best way to find out when I've got a class coming up is to join my newsletter, or check with the Triangle Weavers Guild. Classes in their space frequently fill up very quickly, the best way to ensure you get a spot is to put a reminder in your calendar for when the class opens, and check the website that day.
I am excited to put my new studio to good use and host classes there! Soon I'll be offering rigid heddle weaving and dyeing classes in my studio near 9th st in Durham.
I also offer private lessons at the rate of $50/hr. This is great for budding fiber artists that may already know a bit, but just want help getting a new project started, or want in person guidance when learning a new technique. If you're interested in booking private teaching time, just send me an email!
*At this time, I only teach adult classes.
