TARWEED SEEDS


Students posing with finished hand carved wooden stools!
Students and teachers from the October class: Building Greenwood Stools. Over four hard-working weeks, students made stools that will live in Tarweed's classroom for future student use.

What a month! October marked Tarweed's busiest month ever, with 20 total class days. Throughout the month, it was a joy to see so many students and teachers sharing knowledge, swapping stories, and working together!


Tarweed has a lot more fun planned for the coming weeks, and we hope you'll join us! Read on to learn more about NEW holiday classes, our 2nd annual Holiday Market, and how to participate in a November Fiber Swap - bring in your fiber stash, participate in a community exchange, and sign up to join a blossoming fiber arts group!

Come see us at the Corvallis Farmers Market on October 4th and learn about building with mud!

With the fall equinox around the corner, we see the acorns starting to drop, mushrooms popping up from forest floors, and beloved Oregon rainbows appearing more and more as we celebrate the return of rain (sweet rain!).


This fall marks one of our biggest seasonal lineups of classes to date, and it is so exciting to witness the many registrations coming in, across a variety of classes. There are still spots left in a number of classes and you can read below to see availability.

Learn about Madelaine Corbin's Introduction to Natural Dyes class next month!

It is the peak of summer, with the earthy aroma of Madia elegans (common tarweed) in the fields, and the acorns beginning to form on the oak trees all across the Willamette Valley. The days are noticeably shortening, and fruit is ripening faster than we can pick it (or preserve it!). We are grateful to everyone who participated in our spring and summer happenings, and we are excited to be able to announce a full list of classes and special events from September through November - open for registration today!
