Tea will be provided. You'll also be able to pilfer supporting supplies from the communal mending kit.

If you want to mend jeans, please bring some extra denim to patch, and some light blue cotton (unless you want to visibly mend, then whatever colour you wish!)

Needle Felted Landscapes
February 14, 2026
9am-12pm
LOCATION: Milk and Honey Ciders, 11738 Co Rd 51, St Joseph, MN 56374
In this 3 hour class, we’ll walk through step by step how to create an 8”x10” needle felted landscape ready to be framed- no experience necessary! From creating a compelling composition to “mixing” colors to creating different shapes & textures to execute your ideas, I’ll demonstrate general needle felting techniques to get started then we’ll experiment and play together!
Bring an image or two of a landscape that you’d like to create in wool or a sketch to work from.
I recommend having a couple to choose from, in case one ends up working better than the other. It works well to have the photo either printed or on an ipad or something. You can also have it on your phone. Another option is a sketch if you’d like to work from your imagination.
When selecting the reference photo, I’ve learned a couple of things:
Keep the shapes simple. If the photo is too detailed, it’s difficult to execute efficiently in wool. I like sunsets, clouds, rolling hills, fields, lakes and photos with distinct horizons and big shapes. Trees are fun, but easy to get lost in, so it’s best to limit their quantity. Reflections on water can be challenging.
Feel free to take elements from multiple photos: a sky from this photo, a lake scene from a different photo.
A landscape painting, an image in your mind, a sketch or working abstractly also work great.
For now, I recommend selecting a nature scene and leaving out an image with buildings, people, animals or similar.
Leather Workshop: Small Goods & Medium Goods
February 22, 2026
8am-12pm
Join us for a hands-on leatherworking experience rooted in tradition and craft. In this half-day session, students complete two small projects or one medium project.
You’ll choose your project or projects when you arrive, working from pre-cut patterns and bringing your project to life through the traditional saddle stitch method of hand sewing. Students will mark, punch, and stitch their projects by hand, with guidance at every step. Along the way, you’ll also make design choices - selecting your leather colors, choosing thread, and adding minor tweaks that make your project uniquely yours.
Small goods include options like wallets, sunglass cases, keychains, luggage tags, and pencil cases - perfect quick makes that balance creativity and utility. Medium projects, such as clutches, wristlets, passport covers, or field note covers, provide more time to refine your skills while producing a lasting leather good. Students who want to do more may purchase additional projects at a discount to work on during class or take home to finish.
No previous experience is required, and all tools and materials are provided. Whether you’re exploring leatherwork for the first time or deepening your craft, you’ll leave with a finished good (or more!) and the satisfaction of working with your hands.
Tuition: $65
Materials: $35
This course is for adults 18+, or students 12+ with accompanying adult

Card Weaving
Dating back to the early Iron Age, card woven bands were used to create the starting and selvedge bands for warp-weighted looms. Decorative bands are also added to woven textiles along the hem line, and as belts and straps. In this class we will create bands approx 3⁄8-3⁄4” wide and 36”-48” long. Students will have a variety of patterns to choose from. By the end of class, students will have the understanding, skills, and resources to continue band weaving at home.
Inkle Loom Weaving
Learn to weave bands using an Inkle Loom- a remarkably transportable loom able to make bands up to 8 feet long and 3 inches wide. This beginner friendly craft will introduce you to basic project preparation- how to “warp” the loom and use a simple but clever system of string heddles. We will learn how to select yarn colors to create unique patterns. Students can expect to go home with a band approximately 1 inch wide and 3-4 feet long (some after class time may be required) and the knowledge to continue crafting bands of many patterns. Material fee covers rental fee for the looms from my local Guild, and yarn.

Sheep: Shear, Wash, Spin & Weave
Wool is a versatile material that has impacted the human experience beyond measure. From swaddle to shroud we interact with textiles, they are so interwoven in our lives as to be almost overlooked. Historically wool has been used to make the sails that enabled travel, blankets that ensured survival through winter and clothing for exploration to lands far away. Connect with this tradition and discover the enjoyment of crimp, the mesmerizing spin on a wheel, and the warmth of cloth.
In this co-taught class, shepherdess Leslie Chaplin will lead students through the experience of shearing a sheep, skirting (sorting out debris) the fleece, scouring (washing) the wool, combing and carding into a preparation ready to spin into yarn. This group activity will familiarize students with characteristics of wool, including discussion of crimp and softness, desired wool types for a variety of applications (blankets vs rugs), selecting quality fleeces, and the types of wool available from different sheep breeds.
In the second part of the class, fiber artisan Josie Cooke will guide students through spinning the prepared fiber on a drop spindle to make their own yarn. This yarn will be used to weave a set of coasters or “mug rugs” on a hand held weave it loom. Students can choose to gently felt to experience the process of fulling into cloth. As time allows, Josie will demonstrate spinning on a wheel and weaving on a floor loom, which students will be welcome to try.
By the end of class, students will be familiar with types of wool, selecting a fleece, processing wool into yarn, and have an introduction to basic weaving. Students will go home with fiber to continue spinning, and one to two completed mug rugs, with the knowledge to create more.
Timber Framing for FLINTA
The purpose of this class is to provide a supportive learning environment for those identifying as FLINTA to work with their hands, using traditional and modern tools to learn the craft of timber frame building. Don’t know what FLINTA means? Read the FLINTA description below!
Timber framing is the craft of joining wooden timbers together without the use of nails or metal fasteners. Timber frames are simple, strong, and elegant, and have stood for centuries around the world. In this class, students will learn the fundamentals of timber framing, from the use of hand and power tools to the layout and cutting of mortise and tenon joinery. On the final day of the class, students will go home with the knowledge and skills to continue their timber framing practice and build structures of their own.

Stained Glass and Agate Mosaic
Join local mosaic artist, Laura Ruprecht, for a unique workshop where you’ll learn the basics and design a glass-on-glass mosaic. Using cut stained glass and translucent agate slices, each student will create an 8x8 framed luminary with an abstract, intuitive design. When finished, your piece will come to life by hanging it in a window or displaying with a light source behind it.
Since the adhesive needs time to cure, you’ll take home a grout kit with easy instructions to complete your mosaic at your own pace.
