Teaching
New weavers
My own weaving journey started with an Intro to Weaving Class at the former Handcraft Studio School in El Cerrito, CA. There’s no telling where curiosity for a new art practice might take you—it could change your life. I love meeting new weavers and occasionally teach beginning weaving workshops in the Bay Area.
Private lessons
Maybe learning in a group setting isn’t for you, and you’d like a focused one-on-one tutorial. Private weaving sessions take place at my home in Alameda, CA. Contact me for my teaching rate and we’ll get you started.

Immerse yourself in the joy of weaving with a class perfect for beginners.

Working freely without a design in mind, intuitive weaving builds trust for your instincts as an artist while inhabiting a meditative space to heal and process personal experiences. Students will learn to warp a loom, practice plain tabby weave, and complete their first piece. Discussion covers basic weaving terms, local fiber resources, and opportunities for repurposing found or upcycled materials in your work.
