The Fernwood Studio, located downstairs at Cowgirl Yarn, is a fully functioning fiber studio equipped with five floor looms, eight table looms, two rigid heddle looms, two utility sinks, a kitchenette, a bathroom, a top loading washing machine for felting, and so much more! Many of our classes are held in this studio space, and all equipment is available for monthly rentals, when the current class schedule allows for its availability. The Fernwood Studio is also available to rent for events and functions with rates dependent on the number of attendees and what Fernwood Studio equipment will be used during the event. This space is perfect for retreats, club meetings, creative classes of any kind, lectures, performances, and more! See all of the rental and rate options below.
