Weaving classes

Teaching is our greatest passion at Vävstuga. Get the best possible instruction with dependable tools, sound techniques, and stellar instruction.

Each class is structured to maximize the benefits of both group and individual instruction.

Top-quality instruction

Becky Ashenden, our founder and principal instructor, has been teaching weaving since 1993 after 13 years as a production weaver. Becky emphasizes Swedish techniques because of her extensive study in Sweden throughout the years. Swedes have a long and valued history of weaving; the streamlined approach and the flexibility of the looms and patterns are hard to match. Each student leaves Vävstuga with fresh inspiration and greater ability.

Eva Gaultney, our additional instructor, attended our Väv Immersion program in 2019, expanding her knowledge of Swedish weaving and techniques. She then returned to Vävstuga as Becky’s teaching apprentice, and is now an integral part of our teaching staff.
