Ruthie’s is a membership-based nonprofit. Every weaver new to Ruthie’s weaves starts off with an introductory project.
Teachers at Ruthie’s will help you plan a project, read a draft, make a warp, dress the loom, weave your project, and finish it. After your first project, the instructors will either suggest a good second project, or turn you loose to weave whatever you’d like, with, of course, consultation and assistance always available.
would you rather weave a single project?
Single Project Weaving
There are quite a few types of looms at the studio, and can be rented on a weekly/monthly basis.
This type of rental is subject to loom availability.
Do you want to host a fiber arts event?
Classroom / Dye Studio Rentals
Our goal is to help support the fiber arts community by having an affordable and welcoming space available to the larger community. We currently host the Legacy Project beginning weaving classes, Portland Handweavers Guild study groups, and smaller workshops. We’re ready to welcome your fiber-related group!
