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.

Vacation not in the cards? Let us bring the classroom to you! Check out our Traveling Teacher Program.
