COURSE LIBRARY

FOLLOW THE THREAD

Most people arrive at the School through one craft and leave with three more on their list. That’s not a problem. That’s a superpower.

We offer 115+ in-depth courses across nine fibre arts disciplines, with new content added every month. Whether you’re picking up a craft for the first time or you’re somewhere deep in the rabbit hole, you’ll find courses that meet you where you are — and take you somewhere new.

All courses are available on demand through SweetGeorgia + Co.

KNITTING

It probably started here. Knitting is often the entry point — the craft that opens the door to everything else. Our courses take you from the very beginning through complex colourwork, sweater construction, lace, and beyond, with instructors who are as enthusiastic about the technique as you are.

  • Beginner fundamentals — cast on with confidence
  • Stranded colourwork and Fair Isle
  • Sweater construction, top-down and beyond
  • Shawls, accessories, and finishing

SPINNING

Then someone handed you a spindle — or you watched someone spin and couldn’t stop thinking about it. Spinning transforms raw fibre into yarn you made yourself, and there’s nothing quite like knitting or weaving with something you spun from scratch. Our courses guide you from your very first draft all the way through advanced techniques and specialty fibres.

  • Getting started with drop spindles
  • Wheel spinning for beginners
  • Fibre prep, combing, and carding
  • Spinning specialty fibres: silk, bast, rare breeds

WEAVING

Weaving is the craft that many of our members describe as the one that truly took over. It opens up a world of structure, pattern, and colour that’s endlessly deep — and our courses walk you through every stage, from dressing your first loom to complex weave structures and project design.

  • Loom setup, warping, and dressing
  • Plain weave, twill, and beyond
  • Colour and pattern in weaving
  • Project-based skill building at every level

DYEING

Dyeing is how you make your work completely yours. Our dyeing courses cover the essentials of colour theory and dye chemistry alongside hands-on technique, so you understand not just what to do but why it works. Learn to create the colourways you’ve always imagined, in yarn or fibre, with consistency and confidence.

  • Introduction to yarn and fibre dyeing with acid dyes and fibre reactive dyes
  • Colour mixing, colour theory, and palette building
  • Gradient, variegated, and hand-painted techniques
  • Natural dyes and plant-based colour

RIGID HEDDLE WEAVING

Rigid heddle looms are portable, versatile, and capable of producing stunning work — and it’s often the craft that cracks open an entirely new relationship with fibre. Our courses take you from your first warp through complex patterns, techniques, and projects.

  • Rigid Heddle Loom setup, warping, and dressing
  • Colour & weave, clasped weft, twills, and more
  • Expand to weaving with two-heddles

CROCHET

Crochet gets taken seriously here. Our courses move from foundational stitches through complex garments, motifs, and construction methods — taught by makers who love the craft and bring real depth to every lesson. Whether you’re picking up a hook for the first time or expanding what you can do with one, there’s a course for where you are.

TAPESTRY WEAVING

Tapestry is one of the oldest textile arts — a way of building pictures and patterns directly into cloth. It’s meditative, expressive, and endlessly creative. Our courses make this beautiful discipline approachable at every level, with projects that grow in complexity as your skills do.

MACHINE KNITTING

If you have a flatbed knitting machine or a circular sock machine — or you’ve been quietly curious about one — this is where to start. Machine knitting is faster than hand knitting, technically fascinating, and capable of producing beautiful, complex fabric. Our courses begin at the very beginning and build from there.

COLOUR & DESIGN

Colour is at the heart of every craft we teach. This course category is for makers who want to understand why certain combinations sing, how to build a palette with intention, and how to translate a colour feeling into something real. Learn the way dyers and designers think — and bring that understanding to everything you make.
