Learn to make felt… or fix your bike

The Field House (5465 Leary Ave NW), which opened last October, came onto the scene as your local “mercantile” selling everything from Filson lunchboxes to candles and clothing.

Along with the retail side of the shop, Owner Nicole Miller is also bringing in people to teach free classes on a variety of topics. This month you can learn about the “Wine of Piedmont, Italy: Culture and Tasting,” at a class on March 7th. The following week is “Bike Maintenance and Preparation,” followed by “Age-Old Wet Felting Techniques.” The final Sunday in March you can “Mend & Measure: Save money, save your favorite garment, consume less.” All classes start at 3:00pm and are open to the public.
