Community Studio

The Woven Path Community Studio is a warm, creative space designed to bring people together through art, connection, and community. Located in the heart of Ishpeming, the studio hosts a wide range of offerings, including therapy groups, creative art classes (non-therapy based), homeschool meetups, and monthly gallery shows.

The Community Gallery

Each month, the studio participates in Ishpeming’s First Friday Art Walk, featuring new gallery exhibitions that are open to the public. These shows highlight local artists and invite the community to experience the joy and inspiration of creative expression.

Homeschool Art Programming

We’re developing new art programming for homeschool and non-traditional learners, and we’d love your input! Faren, our art therapist and local artist, is excited to offer creative lessons designed for exploration, skill-building, and hands-on making.

To share your ideas and explore what might be the best fit for your homeschool community Reach out at: farenpeterson@gmail.com

Creative Art Classes

Woven Path Creative Classes provide a welcoming, inclusive space to explore art in a supportive studio environment. These classes are not therapy, they’re designed for community, curiosity, and hands-on creative exploration.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, each class offers a chance to slow down, make something meaningful, and enjoy the process of creating alongside others.

Interested in Teaching a Class?

The studio loves collaborating with local artists, makers, and creatives. If you have a class, workshop, or creative idea you’d like to bring to the community, Amy would be excited to connect with you. Reach out at: amy@wovenpatharttherapy.com

Get cozy and creative this winter in our Weaving on a Frame Loom class! This hands-on workshop is perfect for beginners and those with some experience who want to refresh their skills or explore new techniques.

Participants will learn how to set up a warp, practice three basic weaving stitches, and experiment with color, pattern, and texture to create a one-of-a-kind woven wall hanging.

Each session introduces new skills, from weaving stitches and fringe to shaping and finishing your piece, while leaving plenty of room for playful exploration and personal style. Each week builds on the last, blending structure with creative freedom in a relaxed, community setting.

All materials are provided, just bring your curiosity and creativity.
