WINTER 2012 LESSON SCHEDULE

Beth is busy composing her next newsletter . . . please stay tuned :-)

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 26 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, 2.5 or 3 hour lesson time for ten consecutive weeks. (September – December; January – April; May - August). 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.

Materials and yarns are 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 are also available.

Children’s Learn to Weave a Scarf Class

Starting Wednesday, March 21, 2012

Beth Guertin from A Place to Weave in Waltham, will be teaching a four week workshop at the farm for children age 8 and older. Participants will design a stripe scarf in cotton yarn (8” X 60”) on a Cricket Rigid Heddle Loom. They will warp the loom for the scarf; weave the scarf and twist fringe. Looms can be taken home to weave on the project during the week. In addition to weaving, children will also have an opportunity to visit with CCF’s sheep, learn from the farmer about the care and maintenance of these animals and gain an understanding of how yarn is made.  Cost per child is $80 including yarn. Class is limited to 8 participants.
