Cruisers College, 2024-2025 

We really expanded our offerings, lengthened some courses, and received an amazing amount of good feedback.

We have our fall courses published and have lots of options – check us out.

I’m excited and my batteries are recharged after being on the for a couple of months this summer cruising the inside passage! I hope you get to take some courses and learn lots of information from our team.

Full year of Canvas Courses this season

Our past offerings have been going great and our 2 week professional course offered this past summer sold out and was a big hit with participants.

Mike Resse is planning a full set of courses who want to learn canvas this season. We start with our “Boot Camp” which will teach you the basics, and then offer many indvidual topics which are folowed up with makers-space offerings where you can come into our facility and have your own machine to sew all day with Mike there to offer support. These are fun days and we enjoy the variety of projects thata get completed.
