Description

Sign up for a full trimester of access at Franquemont University, and get all this:

As long as your membership is current, you will have access to everything we’re doing and we’ll ask for your input as we keep growing and doing more. You’ll also be offered opportunities to beta test new programs and offerings and receive regular discounts on products we bring to market.

You will also receive discount codes from our supply partners for fibers and other related materials.

Schedules

• New-Year Trimester = January, February, March, April
• Mid-Year Trimester = May, June, July, August
• Year-End Trimester = September, October, November, December

Every Trimester we announce the monthly class topics for live sessions, recordings (if you’re unable to attend live or want to watch more than once), and occasional Office Hours live sessions. Full calendars are posted to currently enrolled students on our Discord server.

Also: FIGS or Focused Interest Groups are ongoing guided study sessions where you can delve deep into our growing list of topics of interest to our members. Specific topics are chosen and dynamically scheduled throughout the trimester based on student participation and interest, and are always recorded. FIGs are intended to provide responsive deeper-dive sessions involving what our active members want to know. Our current list of topics includes such amazing topics as these.

• Andean Backstrap Weaving
• Bast Fibers
• Blending Fibers
• Breed Studies
• Cotton
• Drafting Methods
• Fiber Preparation
• Luxury Fibers
• Plying Structures
• Sock Yarn

Enjoy deeper dive sessions 60-90 minutes long on a variety of spindle topics, hand carding, and so much more!
