READ MOREWe have 2 more sections of the Double Rainbow class available: Workshop #4A and #4B.
Have you wanted to attend a workshop with Jennifer Moore and experience her amazing Double Rainbow technique? Now is the time to participate in an on-line workshop with Jennifer! You will be weaving in your home or studio on your own loom, and Jennifer will be meeting with you via Zoom. It is so 2021! And the classes will be limited to 20 participants so you will have lots of individual time to ask questions and get to know Jennifer.
The workshop dates are:
- Workshop #1 March 8, 10, 15 and 17, 2021–Full
- Workshop #2A May 17, 19, 24 and 26, 2021–Full

Additionally, the 4-days format will be conducive to weaving your sampler during the workshop timeframe, because the class time is spread out over 10 days. Each of the 4 class will meet from 10-1:30 Mountain Time. And as you can see from the schedule, you will have time in between the class periods to weave on your loom. It is a great way to take a workshop even while we are in the various stages of isolation during COVID-19 times!
