Have you ever wanted to learn to weave but worried about making mistakes?

Freestyle weaving embraces every thread, every color choice, and every creative decision. In this hands-on workshop, you'll create fabric while I lead you through an improvised method and leave with a beautiful handwoven hat made from your own work!

This 3 hour class will give you all you need to create your first handwoven hat!

🧶✨ What if there were no rules?

Join me at the Fairbanks Fiber Festival for "Woven Without Rules: A Handwoven Hat" and discover the joy of freestyle weaving, a creative approach that celebrates self-expression over perfection. You'll weave your own unique fabric and transform it into a one-of-a-kind hat that's as individual as you are.

No weaving experience required. Just bring your curiosity and creativity!

🎟️ Space is limited. Register today: Woven Without Rules: A Handwoven Hat https://www.fairbanksfiberfestival.com/events/woven-without-rules-a-handwoven-hat

Students will bring a pre-threaded loom (a rigid heddle loom is perfect but more complex looms are welcome as well) as well as their own yarn of any sort to create their own one of a kind, hand-designed woven hat.

I'm excited to be teaching "Woven Without Rules: A Handwoven Hat" at the Fairbanks Fiber Festival!

Freeform weaving is all about creativity, mindfulness, and celebrating what makes each of us unique. In this workshop, you'll create your own woven fabric and turn it into a wearable work of art, a handwoven hat unlike any other.

No experience needed. Just come ready to play with color, texture, and imagination.

I'd love to weave with you!

For the first time, I'm teaching a beginners freestyle woven hat class at the Fairbanks Fiber Festival in October. A common question I get at my booth is "do you teach classes". My answer has always been "no " due to time and space constraints BUT the stars have aligned and it is time to make it happen! Would love to have you join me for a fun class of creativity and exploration. You'll walk away w a funky new hat as well as some new skills! Register today! Space is limited - link in bio!

Registration is now open!

"I'd love to take the class, but I'm not an experienced weaver..."

If that's you, let me reassure you: you do not need to be an advanced weaver to enjoy this workshop. Beginners are welcome!

If you can set up (or bring) a pre-threaded loom and weave a simple plain weave, you're ready to join us. This class isn't about perfection, complicated patterns, or getting everything "right." It's about experimenting, playing with color and texture, and discovering your own creative voice.

One of the best things about this style of weaving is that every project is uniquely beautiful. You'll leave with a handwoven hat and, hopefully, a little more confidence in your creative instincts.

So if you've been waiting for permission to try something new, this is it.

Come learn, explore, and create with us. I'd love to have you there.
