Damascus Fiber Arts School provides an inclusive community space for weaving and learning the art and craftsmanship of fiber arts.  In addition to Open Studio days, we have classes and workshops in tapestry, weaving on a Navajo-style loom, spinning, Ravenstail twining, and more. 

Keep up to date on what is happening at the school and in the weaving community. Check out the DFAS Blog.

The Fall Term courses are also open for registration. Fall Term begins October 3, 2023.

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

Here are a few photos from our summer workshops.

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. We just got a selection of weaving combs from Bill Crawford, along with one of his Sketch Looms.
