Now two of Northern Heritage Arts classics, Rio Grande Style Weaving and Spanish Colonial Woodcarving, are moving to the Española campus.
Weaving classes are up and running in the bright new Weaving Studio in the Arts Annex building in the Española campus. Stay tuned for the grand opening in Spring 2016 of our new state-of-the-art Wood Shop, currently under construction in the Annex.
Also new for Spring: woodworking and weaving classes designed especially for children, providing a unique, and safe "do-it-yourself" experience. Parents are welcome!

Children will assemble projects in woods, using simple tools and techniques. We'll emphasize safety in our explorations, and the pleasure of making things and completing them to take home. New projects each section. Children will love to come back again and again as their skills and comfort increase. Parents are welcome to stay if they wish.
