Retreat for Vävstuga Vävsters
Weave together with fellow Vävstuga alumni
Dates offered 2025: contact us for scheduling
Have you been to Vävstuga many times and are wondering “What’s next for me?” Come weave with other Vävstuga Vävsters!
You can become a Vävstuga Vävster if you have taken:
- Vävstuga Basics
- Swedish Classics
- One other 4–5 day class
- (Väv Immersion satisfies all prerequisites. Mini Immersion satisfies Basics & Classics.)
If this describes you, this is an opportunity to gather with some of your favorite classmates for some targeted projects and weaving goals. As a Vävstuga Vävster, you will troubleshoot together and inspire each other to new weaving heights and ambitions.
What you can expect
- A loom to yourself (or share looms as you choose)
- Drawloom alumni may choose a drawloom to yourself
- Vävstuga Bandlooms to share
- Planning sessions with Becky, as needed

- Lots of quiet time to focus on your weaving
- 2 group dinners each week
- Self-serve breakfast and lunches
