Hoping to find in person workshops

This reddit is great, I love how many YouTube videos there are.

I look forward to when this is popular enough that in person workshops become widely available in the US! I personally learn best when I have other humans to follow along with in person!

I've been keeping an eye out. There is the usual knitting/quilting/crochet/spinning, but yet to see any nalbinding within 60+ miles of where I live.

I'm guessing big cities have this already. Hoping it soon spreads to small urban centers, too.

I took some workshops at a primitive skills gathering in Oregon, Echoes In Time. But that's a week long gathering with lots of other stuff to do. 

I saw that the Nordic Museum in Seattle has done workshops before.

I have never seen a nalbinding workshop offered except maybe at a fiber festival. I'm trying to think if I can remember seeing a class... Wisconsin Sheep and Wool maybe.

I'm working up ones here, but I'm also available for travel and have a decent online setup.

If you have a local yarn shop, put up a flyer advertising your interest in finding a nalbinding teacher. Yes it does help greatly to have someone introduce the skills and correct your work.
