COME JOIN US IN WORLD FAMOUS STOWE, VERMONT

Study with and learn from our internationally renowned teachers as you enjoy  the beauty, charm, and history that makes Stowe, VT one of the nation's most  cherished year round resorts and getaway destinations.  More 200 years old, Stowe remains as enchanting as when visitors were first entertained before the Civil War!

 When not weaving and learning, visit Stowe's world class shops and restaurants, climb or drive  up Mt. Mansfield, Vermont's  tallest peak or enjoy the simple  splendor of a relaxing stroll along  our six mile paved community recreation path. Of course, no visit to Stowe would be com-plete without dropping in on the storied hilltop enclave of the von Trapp family. If you listen closely, you'll note that the hills are indeed still alive with the Sound of Music!
