Beginning Weaving Evening Interest Group

This group meets the 1st Thursday of each month from 6:00 pm-7:00 pm in the DFG Studio.

This is a new group intended to provide support to beginning weavers to help them feel more comfortable and confident at the loom. This group is open to all levels of experience, but will be focused on beginning-level skill development. As this is a new group, the first few meetings will focus on what we will want to accomplish as a group. Please join us and help us get this group off to a good start! All are welcome.
