Please join Mill Museum Director and Teaching Artist Miriam Block at the Winooski Senior Center to learn more about our upcoming Rigid Heddle Weaving Workshops. Miriam will be sharing more info and demonstrating the Rigid Heddle loom that participants in the workshops will learn how to use.
The Coffee Chat is free and you can just drop in at the Winooski Senior Center either Tues. Feb. 10 or Wed. Feb 11. We encourage older adults who are curious about participating in the weaving workshops to come, find out more, and register for the spring weaving workshops!
The 10 session Weaving Workshops will be held on Wednesdays & Thursdays in April. The workshops are free, but space is limited. Registration for the April Weaving Workshops is required.
The free weaving workshop series is made possible with support from a Creative Aging Grant from the Vermont Arts Council.
