I have been weaving more fiddle blankets during my time off from the gallery, (weaving in my home studio). The 8.5″ x 25″ textiles are designed to fit in a violin case to protect the violin from the rosined bows in the lid of the case. I am pleased with the combination of bamboo and Tencel fibers. They are very soft and drape over the violin nicely. I sell them for $125.00 each, (plus shipping). I have more, so if you want to see more choices, contact me – Gretchen, at romeytanzer@comcast.net.
July 8 – 10, For new weavers and those who seek a refresher class.
Participants will design a project (scarf, wall hanging, or table runner), select yarns, wind a warp, “dress” a 4 shaft floor loom, and weave the project. Weavers will learn the vocabulary of weaving and develop a better understanding of the process. The 3 day workshop ($225.00) includes use of the studio’s equipment, yarn, and space. The days run from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (with a break at mid-day for a snack or lunch). contact Gretchen at, romeytanzer@comcast.net
Contact the weaving studio if none of the class sessions fit your schedule and we will work out a private class that works better for you.

Spring weaving workshops have been canceled due to the current climate of concern about Covid-19. The weaving studio will open back up for classes when it seems like a good idea, (hopefully in June). Stay healthy and weave at home! Please feel free to contact me via email – romeytanzer@comcast.net – if you have any weaving related questions.
The following classes are offered on a rotating schedule or can be “special ordered” for a group of up to 3 weavers.
