Try three of the many different crafts available in the fiber studio, or choose your favorite and build deeper skills.
Each week, we’ll have a quick featured project you can try, or, if you already have a fiber project in mind—sewing, knitting, weaving, or any fiber project you can imagine—we’ll help you make progress.
October 4th – Wet Felting
Pack roving (un-spun wool) around a ball, add water and soap, and then see what happens after you bounce and roll the ball for a few minutes. You’ll end up with a bag or a hat you can decorate with your own personal style.
Instructor: Isobel Coney
October 11th – Weaving on a Lap Loom
Weave plush yarns of different colors on a small lap loom to design a cool wall hanging for your room. You will learn the basics of weaving and several techniques to add design.
