During the in-class week, lessons are comprised of lectures, learning exercises, and weaving assignments. Students can expect to complete weaving assignments outside class hours, and the facility will be open in the evenings and early in the morning in order for students to weave.
Prior to the Apprentice Session, students need to be comfortable warping and weaving independently.
Each session has specific content and course of study, including some form of visual, oral, and written communication (e.g. presentations, research papers, displays). The following is a very brief overview of the apprentice session.
