Hello!
My name is Lindsay, I am the event planner at The Alpacas Of Spring Acres. We are a 150
acre alpaca farm/bed & breakfast in Zanesville, Ohio. We are offering a two-day weaving class
for beginners here at our farm taught by Sherry Mummert on August 6th and 7th. All materials
will be provided and will be working on 4 harness countermarch looms. The first day will be
spent warping, and the second day will be working on weft. The class is $250 per person,
from 9am to 4pm, stopping for lunch which we will provide.
There is a B&B on the grounds, and students can have 10% off of their stay.
Thank you so much! Lindsay
