donnalavallee - so we have to take a loom with us for classes ? hard to fly with a loom. Looks very intersting - thanks - Barbara
No, you don't have to travel with a loom, only a few of the weaving classes require looms, several are tablet weaving, inkle weaving or rigid heddle (much easier to travel with) and some are just lecture. There are lots of classes to interest weavers that are not loom oriented. Do take a look at all of the class offerings. (and if you really want to take a class that requires a loom, there may be some locals who wouldn't mind loaning you a loom!) Just ask.
