Internships

From time to time, we offer summer internships to students studying at the university level. Over the years, interns have woven samples for books, warped looms, planned events, and worked in product design. For more information, contact us at schools@schachtspindle.com.
Jane Patrick and Barry Schacht Scholarship in Fibers

Our founder, Barry Schacht, and his wife Jane Patrick established a yearly scholarship at Colorado State University’s extensive fiber program, led by Professor Tom Lundberg. This scholarship supports students who are majoring in art with a fibers concentration. Quite a few of our interns and employees over the years have come from CSU.
