posted in Workshops |
I’ve just finished revamping the Where to Learn Indigenous Weaving Techniques page and it’s going to be an exciting year with lots of great classes and wonderful instructors, if you don’t count me. Me, I’m not too bad for a bilagáana. I’ve summarized the classes for you below, and you can click on any of the class titles to get all the juicy details of the class that you’re interested in. Most of the listings have email addresses and/or phone numbers where you can contact a real, live person who will be glad to answer questions and get you started on a great weaving adventure.
