Weaving Classes
Members of The Overmountain Weavers Guild teach weaving classes each August at Exchange Place in Kingsport, TN. The classes meet Saturday and Sunday during the first four weekends in August. Hours are 9:00 to 3:00. Each class builds on the preceding one, so it is important to attend all of them.
If you are interested in learning more about our August 2025 class, please CONTACT US HERE with your name and phone number.
