Hi all,
I'm a new weaver (just finished up an 8 week concentration at Penland School of Crafts in NC), and I'm ever so addicted! I got home to the city recently and am already missing the lovely 8 harness macomber loom I worked on and grew to love. I am young, moving out of my apartment soon, and... for countless other reasons not in a position to buy a loom right now. I will be living in Boston through the summer and am looking for a place to weave that is T-accessible. Any of you out there live in the area? Know of a place to weave, or know someone with a studio or production line who could maybe use some free help? The latter situation would be ideal, as I don't have much spare money to rent a space.
I'm looking into potential apprenticeships as well, and am willing to relocate once my lease is up. I would love to continue to learn as much as I can from weavers of different backgrounds. I am very interested in learning more about production weaving. If anyone out there has any leads, I would be so happy to hear of them. The main restricting factor I have with an apprenticeship and location is that I cannot drive, so I'm mainly looking in either very small towns that are easy to navigate, or metropolitan areas.
Thanks so much for any help!
Best
Kate
