It’s
hard to believe that Summer is almost over and September
will be here before long. School will begin again and
the studio will be back to regular school year hours.
In an effort to continually improve, I am trying something
new this Fall. A Place to Weave’s Advisory Board and I
have been trying to figure out how to balance the requests
for flexibility to accommodate weavers’ differing needs
and styles, and attempting to make the fees and studio
time fair and equitable, so beginning September 1, 2010,
“A Place to Weave” is pleased to offer THREE
OPTIONS for studying weaving and paying
for lessons.
OPTION
#1: OPEN STUDIO TIME – You will pay for
a trimester of lessons (Fall: September 1 – December 31;
Winter: January 1 - April 30; Summer: May 1- August 31)
in advance. For that one tuition payment, you will have
the opportunity to use the studio for as many hours as
desired during open studio hours. During the 24 plus scheduled
open studio hours per week, I will be available to teach
and help you as needed. You can use the library, the computer
to design your next project, pick my brain, weave, or
just visit with your weaving buddies - whatever you desire.
Individualized instruction geared to your interests and
level (beginner through intermediate) on either eight-shaft,
four-shaft, or rigid heddle looms will be available. There
will be no need to sign up for any particular time - just
show up when it’s convenient for you. Loom use is included
in tuition cost.
OPTION
#2: WEEKLY LESSONS – You may sign up for
one day a week, for either a 2 or 3 hour lesson time for
ten weeks. (September – November; January – March; April
– June; Summer). With this option you can attend only
on the day and time slot you choose; there will be no
exchanges or makeup lessons or refunds for missed lessons.
At the end of the 10 weeks, if the project is not completed,
then you will have the option of renting the loom (by
the month) and finishing the project on your own or purchasing
additional lesson time on a pay as you go basis.
OPTION #3: PAY AS YOU GO
– In Option #3 you rent the table loom, paid in advance
(floor looms are not available for rental) and pay for
just the days you come to the weaving studio. In this
option, you will pay that day for the number of hours
you attend (2 hour minimum). Please remember your checkbook
as no invoicing will be available.
Some things (thankfully) will remain the same. Materials
and yarns will continue to be sold at a 20% discount.
Special workshops taught by other teachers will occasionally
be scheduled (for additional registration fees) to expand
your knowledge of weaving theory. Children’s classes will
also continue to be available.
