Learn To Weave

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

For information on other upcoming programs and workshops, see our Calendar.
