ALL NEW! Introduction to Fiber Arts

In this exciting 4-week workshop, you will explore the world of fiber arts through yarn collage, basic weaving, and needle felting. We’ll introduce fundamental design principles and color theory to help inform your creative choices.
We’ll begin with yarn collages to get familiar with different textures and how colors interact. Then, we’ll move into basic weaving techniques and finish with small, flat needle-felted artworks.
This workshop is open to all skill levels, from those with no art experience to seasoned artists looking to explore fiber-based techniques for the first time.
THERE IS NO CLASS ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27th.
