(Student comment)
"At first, I was not going to do weaving at all. I thought it was just a boring thing to do, but I had to do it because it was a class. When I started weaving, I thought "This is cool! Then I kept weaving the rest of the week."

There is no "beginning" or "advanced" class. One of the SAORI slogans is "Learn as a Group". We also learn from each other.

Come learn not only how to weave, but also about the people around you!! That is a part of "SAORI" that is fun we believe.

Class Time:
Saturdays 1:30-3:30 (2 hours a session)
Sundays (By appointment / 2 hours)

There will be more SAORI classes available during the week and evenings starting in September.

If you would like, you can stay longer by paying an extra fee. Please let us know in advance.

Fee: $20 (including material/extra material fee for silk and other special material)
