Important Announcement: Weaving Classes and Workshops on Hold
Dear Weaving Community Members,
I am writing to inform you with great regret that all upcoming weaving classes and workshops have been cancelled until further notice. Due to an sudden and terminal illness, we are unable to perform classes. AVL will begin searching for a new instructor at a later date.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Our priority is to focus on resolving the concern and getting back to holding classes as soon as possible.
- Full refund: A full refund will be issued for any classes or workshops enrollees.
- Deferral: You can defer your registration to a future class or workshop date.
We will reach out with more details shortly.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

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, or check out our...
LIVE VIDEO WORKSHOPS!
Our live Zoom are a smash hit for our WeavePoint basic and design classes! We've laid out the whole calendar year 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.
This includes an excellent class in fundamental WeavePoint usage, called Basic WeavePoint Online. This 1-day Zoom workshop is a great way to prepare for the WeavePoint design courses.

Please note that students for online classes must pre-registered with a minimum of 14 days prior to the class start. Late registration does not allow us time to send you the class materials.
