2025 Workshop: Designing colorful fabrics with Kathrin Weber
Coming next year!
Next year we will have Kathrin Weber for a three-day workshop February 26, 27 & 28, 2025. She will be teaching non-traditional techniques in setup and designing at the reed while working effectively and efficiently with multiple warps and diverse warp elements. She will be bringing some of her hand dyed warps for us to work with and to purchase. If you would like to learn more about Kathrin you can see her work at www.blazingshuttles.com or at blazing shuttles on Facebook.


We have had a busy workshop year with 3 one-day workshops (unusual looms, shibori, fabric collage) and a 3-day workshop with Liz Spear (clothing design with your handwoven fabric). We plan to continue the one-day workshops again next year. If you have ideas or suggestions please send them to me at <kobos.rebecca@gmail.com> Becky Kobos
