Shelburne Craft School

Weaving Your Story is a unique and personal way to tell your story using yarn, looms, and your imagination. And new to this program, this class will be online!

Row after row, or round after round, participants will use color, texture and material to represent people, memories and specific key events or milestones that impacted and shaped the course of their lives. Like an individual time capsule, the resulting artwork will become a piece of organic art entirely unique to each person.
