October 7 – 13, 2024

Come celebrate National Spinning & Weaving Week with LindaMarie Hanson, owner of Hanson Weavery, Fortville’s fiber arts studio with teen and adult weaving classes.

Enjoy watching demonstrations on a variety of looms, try make-and-take weaving, and view many examples of what can be accomplished with a little bit of yarn.

These handcrafts are as ancient as our history; participating in them today binds us to creators in all nations and cultures. Today, we enjoy these as hobbies for gift-giving, relaxation, making items for home use.
