Classes
The LoomRoom has ongoing classes for students from a broad variety of backgrounds and knowledge levels. At the moment we have 23 students aged under 10 to over 70 years old. We meet in four groups per week in 8-week terms. New classes start 23rd and 24th of January 2019. Please contact me if you are interested in joining.
Production
Production in the new LoomRoom started in September 2018. We are currently focusing on tea towels and aprons; small blankets and scarves are in the planning.
The tea towel collections are:
Operation Kitchentowel and
C. Keller Red-Flag Towel
Studio
Weavers and former students who want to weave alongside me can rent the equipment and weave their own collections and products.
I hope that besides our three flying-8 production looms and the 8 shaft Bartlett loom, two AVL compu-dobby looms (16 and 24 shafts) will be up and running by the end of January 2019.
"...if I believed in money as the only measure for wealth, the LoomRoom would not exist today. I believe it is time we start to measure community, environment, skill level, well being and beauty. I feel richer being part of this project."
