SUMMER WORKSHOPS STILL HAVE A FEW OPENINGS.

FALL TERM CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS ARE NOW OPEN FOR REGISTRATION. Look under Catalog 2026-2027, Fall 2026, for details and registration links.

Damascus Fiber Arts School provides an inclusive community space for weaving and learning the art and craft of fiber arts.  In addition to Open Studio days, we have classes and workshops in tapestry, spinning, basketry, dyeing, and more. 

Our continuing monthly Tapestry Talks are a big hit. For $10 you can sign up for the live talk and the recorded video. One Saturday each month, we invite a tapestry artist to give a presentation about their work. The links can be found under the Tapestry Talks tab. https://damascusfiberartsschool.org/course-category/tapestry-talks/

HOMAGE TO AUDREY MOORE catalog available for purchase. Here is the link: https://damascusfiberartsschool.org/courses/weaving/homage-to-audrey-moore-1926-2020-catalog/

When our founder/mentor/friend Audrey Moore passed away in 2020, we began an exhibit to honor her. After the exhibit of 37 weavings left its first venue, we created a full-color catalog of the work. The catalog’s 62 pages features an introduction and memorial, photos of Audrey and 10 of her tapestries, 27 tapestries woven in her honor, and wonderful artist statements describing Audrey’s significance to the weavers. This may include the inspiration you are looking to add to your own weaving story. Get your copy before they are gone. There will not be a second printing.

New Weavers!!! Sign up for one of the 3-day Beginning Tapestry Workshops. Most months have one scheduled with either Janet Dorow, Margaret Jeppesen, or Becky Smith. Small groups, plenty of personalized instruction, no pressure. You will love it!

OR, if you can come on Tuesday or Thursday, sign up for a 5-day Beginning Tapestry Class. Same great instruction, spread out to one day a week, joining the Open Studio weavers for additional inspiration at no extra charge…These classes start again when Fall Term opens at the end of September.

Weavers with basic tapestry skills are welcome at Open Studio with Instruction. Learn new techniques and tools for your tapestry toolbox, be inspired by weaving with others, make friends and art. Open Studio days are Tuesday and Thursday, plus one Saturday and one Wednesday each month. Open Studio means you can come in as much as you want during each term. Hours are 10am-3pm.

Visit our School Shoppe while you are in the area.  We have a selection of yarn by Harrisville and Brown Sheep, and we carry the Faro line from Glimakra.  We have Al Snipes weaving forks, Joy Moss tapestry bobbins, copper pipe looms, and some books.

Need space in a building for a fiber-related activity? Have a group of friends who want to learn more about a fiber-related topic? Having trouble with a fiber-related technique? See our Create Your Own Workshop, Hosted Fiber Events, and Independent Study options.
