    I really enjoyed this workshop! It was a relaxing “Zen” like experience. The instructor allowed me to move at my own speed. It was “hands-on,” which is my preferred style of learning. It definitely sparked my interest in further exploring this method (SAORI) of weaving.

    My grandson loves to weave and he wanted to take this class, but he wanted me to take it with him- soooo glad I did! Such a fun time! The staff were incredibly kind and it was so easy! I loved it and so did my grandson! I am going to look into doing this back home. I have found a similar place in Salt Lake City and I am going to invite my family to join me to do this! Great fun! Hit of our trip! Thank you so much!
