Outreach

At various events, we demonstrate weaving and spinning in order to get awareness and to tell people about our weaving branch. If you help at one of these events, there will be a warped loom with the weft available. You can weave on the loom or bring your own spinning wheel, inkle loom or card loom.

We will be demonstrating weaving and spinning at the Hurricane Peach Days.

We will be located at the between the Heritage Building and where the vendors are set up. This area is on the south side of SR 9, which is the main road through Hurricane, between 100 W and Main Street. The Heritage Building is on the corner of SR9 and Main Street.
