Weave with me workshop
3/21/2020: An update on this post due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
All Adult education classes for the spring semester for Ennis, Bozeman have been cacelled
I have the possibility of running the classes in my studio if people would want to do so and we are not on a “full stop” lockdown. My classes are limited to a maximum of 4 students and as you can see from the image at left students are placed 6 foot apart in the classroom. The looms are made of wood and string, two items that do not retain the virus for very long because they are considered porous materials. My average time between classes is more than 7 days.
Until art/craft shows and gatherings are able to be restarted, I will only be using these looms for individual instruction or these small workshops.
