We are excited to offer this interdisciplinary woodworking workshop specifically designed for Fiber Fest, our community celebration of wool and fiber arts. Join us in our vibrant 2400-square-foot studio for a hands-on woodworking project created to support your unique weaving journey. In this two-hour session, you will step into our woodshop to create two of your own custom, handmade wooden stick shuttles. This class is a fantastic way to bridge the gap between woodworking and fiber arts while learning from our team of skilled craftspeople.

Under the guidance of a woodworking instructor, you will learn essential shop skills including how to safely operate a drill press and perform precision cutting with a coping saw and/or pull saw. You will also practice shaping and refining wood using rasps and files before mastering sanding best practices to ensure a smooth, fiber-friendly finish on your completed projects. By the end of the workshop, each student will have completed two functional weaving shuttles ready for use. If you are a new weaver—or returning to the craft after a hiatus—this workshop serves as the perfect companion to an afternoon of weaving in an Intro to Weaving Fabric on a Rigid Heddle Loom class.

This class is ideal for ages 12+.
All materials included.


This workshop is part of Craft Collective’s 3rd annual Fiber Fest! Join in the main day of festivities on Saturday, May 16th, for a day filled with fiber fun!
