About

This class will use fiber arts skills like basic sewing and weaving to create magical items to turn yourself into a forest fairy. We will use some materials that the teacher and each participant brings, but we'll also spend some time foraging in the area around BARN. These natural items will be combined with fabric, yarn, and thread to turn them into magical items to wear, such as a crown and mask! You will also need a magic wand or staff to make your transformation complete.

Details

  • For students ages 8-10.
  • Skill Level: Beginner
  • Registration closes Monday, July 10.
  • A materials fee of $20 is included in the price of the class and covers all materials. 

Details

Bring natural items from your yard, including sticks, leaves, flowers, pinecones, etc. If you would like to make a staff, try to find a stick the correct size - about as tall as you are. Make sure you have permission before picking anything!

Project

Instructor
Betsy Hagestedt

Betsy has been working with fiber since she was in elementary school, having learned to sew and knit from her mom. As an anthropologist, she uses her fiber practice as a means of connecting with people from other cultures, embracing the universal nature of fiber arts. Knitting gradually became her specialization due to its portability as she began to travel around the world. You can see some of her fiber experiments on her Instagram feed at behestknits. Since starting at BARN she has been learning as many new skills as possible. She is highly involved in torchworking in the Glass Studio, and has started dabbling with welding and woodturning.
