Happy New Year! Whether you rung in 2024 with bottles of champagne, or were snuggly tucked into bed before 9:00pm (or both), we wish you and yours a happy and healthy year ahead. We've been hard at work behind the scenes preparing for what promises to be one of our most exciting years to date, and we want to share some of the big developments that we've been rolling out over the past month.
First, if you haven't already noticed, we've revamped our website to make it as user friendly as possible, and moved from a .com to a .org! Be sure to update your bookmarks to find us at marshfieldschoolofweaving.org and your contacts with our new email, info@marshfieldschoolofweaving.org. While a subtle change, the move to .org reflects our commitment to working together as a nonprofit educational institution to ensure the school's long range stability.
Second, and more significant than our new website, is our 2024 calendar which is chock-full of programs, some of which are highlighted below. We've kept your perennial favorites while adding eight (EIGHT!) new offerings to the line-up. We hope you'll find a moment to learn more about what we have in store over on our programs page, and encourage you to book early as we anticipate many of these classes filling up.
And lastly, a little about where we're headed. It's so easy when setting goals to throw around the word "growth." For an organization like ours, "growth" doesn't seem nearly as sustainable as depth. The Marshfield School of Weaving doesn't need to put all of its energy into expanding (though give us another barn or two and we could fill it in a heartbeat), rather, we ought to give everything we've got into sinking into our roots even deeper than before. If we're making a New Year's resolution for Marshfield, it's to go deep, to throw our bucket a little further down the well of human experience and to spill that connection into all of our work. We hope you'll join us.
On behalf of Dosia and our Board, with best wishes to you in this new year,
Justin Squizzero
Director
