Class Catalog
Welcome to the treasure chest of classes and courses Laura has developed for teaching live online. These will continue to be updated as she creates and releases new curriculum and mediums. If you are interested in booking Laura to offer classes, this is an excellent way to see the breadth and depth of her offerings.
Models for Building Mastery
Tapestry Weaving, Punch Needle Rug Hooking, Scandinavian Loom Beading, and Wool Embroidery offerings are build upon the model she designed as drawn.
This features sequential curriculum, with levels focusing on gaining new skills while skill-builders offer vital chances to practice those skills. Stretch projects add a few new things and work well as bridges to future levels.
Needle Felting, Painting with Wool, Crochet, and Floor Loom Weaving offerings are project-based, with different projects designed for different skill levels.
Stash Busters are fun, accessible projects that help students use up their stash! No materials are sent to students.
Laura’s Design Course is a five-part series for liberating the creative soul.

"Demonstrating the piece live is very helpful. That combined with the videos on Laura's website make the process easy to do independently in the virtual setting. "

"I deeply appreciate y'all providing Textile Weaving as an online class. I am disabled and immunocompromised, and the opportunity to learn from such an expert in the material is not often afforded to people such as myself, who struggle to leave my home and make it to in-person classes."
