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.
