Collection: Workshops
Need an excuse for a vacation? Come visit us in beautiful Chico, California!
We have a dedicated classroom in our building in addition to a variety of looms that are available for students to weave on. The popular AVL Weaving School has been in business over 25 years! That means you can be sure to receive top notch service. Class size is limited to ten so that our teaching staff can tailor their classes to suit the individual needs of students. Experienced weavers and novices alike are sure to acquire lots of new, valuable skills.
A trip to California not in the cards? Let us bring the classroom to you! Check out our Traveling Teacher Program.
NEW FOR 2023 - LIVE VIDEO WORKSHOPS!
People have been asking us, "Why don't you have courses on Zoom?" And you know what, we agree! We think this will be a great way to reach more people. So, starting in March 2023, AVL and Jannie Taylor will offer our very first live video workshops via Zoom.
We've actually laid out a whole calendar of scheduled classes (see the workshops titled 'ONLINE' in the Class Schedule below). These classes will focus on our desiging for WeavePoint curriculum. Read more here.
We have also added the new Basic WeavePoint Online 1-day Zoom workshop. This class is a great way to prepare for the WeavePoint design courses.
