Interesting facts not always included in the history of Pasco County will connect the names of James Brown, B.B. King, James Bond, Calvin Coolidge, and the Bellamy Brothers with the history of the county. Of note will be the man who re-built Atlanta after the Civil War and brought the first railroad to Dade City. Everyone present will also be introduced to Martha Fountain of Zephyrhills, who has a unique connection with Abraham Lincoln. Meet the actor who appeared on television shows like “The Beverly Hillbillies,” the “Dick Van Dyke Show” and “Bewitched.” Learn more about one of the most remote areas of Pasco County that is still a favorite stomping-ground for the Florida Panther during this presentation. And the woman who celebrated a birthday with Lawrence Welk.

As you make the sampler you will learn the parts of a loom and their functions. Other topics include various weaving terms and tools. Other types of looms will also be demonstrated.
All tools and materials are provided for your first class. You will need to bring your own loom, yarn and tools for any subsequent classes you attend.
Following classes are done at your own pace with instructor assistance. Topics include reading a weaving draft; how to use a warping board; floating selvedges; double weave; overshot; etc. You select the topics you want to learn and the date. You don’t need to worry about missing a class!
