SAORI Weaving Classes

$30.00 – $120.00

Woven Heart SAORI studio is an expressive and creative weaving and fiber studio. We open our studio to adults and children with both individual classes and small groups. Classes are offered virtually, and in non pandemic times, in person at the studio- weekly, by appointment, as short classes or longer intensive retreats. We embrace the philosophies of SAORI and concepts of wabi sabi and no mistakes creating by encouraging students to engage in joyful, weaving from their heart. No experience is necessary and there is no beginning or advanced. We all learn and grow from each other. Sessions can be tailored to the topics the student wants to cover. More intensive study requires the purchase of a series of sessions.
