Classes

The Ruth Dabritz Legacy Weaving Project

Ruth Dabritz provided initial funding for the Ruth Dabritz Legacy Weaving Project to provide short, intensive classes on weaving on a four-shaft floor loom. The project is a charitable nonprofit run by volunteers. Their 3-day workshop covers the basics of floor loom weaving, from planning a project through directions for wet-finishing.

Jane Stafford Online Guild – Learn to Weave Online

“The School of Weaving (formerly called JST Online Guild) launched in January 2017 as a response to weavers wanting to come to Salt Spring Island to study in our studio. Our wait lists were getting longer and longer each year, so Jane decided to try a different approach. This was to take the beginners workshop she offered, flesh it out with more wonderful content and offer it by way of streaming on the great interweb. The immediate response spurred her on. She decided to take every one of her workshops, expand them in greater detail and now we have over 280+ videos available online.”  https://janestaffordtextiles.com/school-of-weaving/
