I was a student in the weeklong "Beginning Weaving: Floor Loom" workshop, held in June of this year, at the Sievers School of Fiber Arts. The school is located on the north side of Washington Island, WI.
Before the workshop commenced, I spent time touring the school buildings and the wonderful Sievers Gift Shop!
The school was originally set up to feature weaving classes. Offerings have since
expanded to include other fiber arts.

There were many temptations inside the Sievers Gift Shop! These photos,
taken with permission, give you a glimpse of the wonderful goods available
there.
I kept visiting this beautiful basket (below). In the end, the large basket came home with me!
A Sievers loom is on display in the gift shop! Weaving demo’s are done on
this loom.
The refurbished barn across the street offers event space and a women’s dormitory.
This building is the “Teacher’s Cottage”.
The Sophie Studio houses looms for weaving classes. My next blog post will
feature many photos taken inside this studio.
