Learn to Weave

SCHG offers a wide range of weekend workshops, as well as weave-a-thon meetups where members provide informal tips. Several times a year we offer a one-day introductory rigid-heddle weaving classes, "Weave a Scarf in a Day."

 

For information on "Weave a Scarf" other upcoming programs and workshops, see our Calendar.
