Update on Floor Loom Classes beginning in Fall 2026: The Weaving Center offers Floor Loom classes in the Fall, Winter, and Spring. To ensure fair access for everyone interested in our weaving classes, we no longer offer priority registration. As a result, returning students are no longer guaranteed a spot in the next session. All classes are open for registration to both new and returning students at the same time.

All of our current classes and workshops are listed on this website. All registration is through this website, we do not accept mailed in registrations or registration in advance.
