Weaving in the Round
Fiber Mandalas
Beginners weaving, just like Tapestry, but weaving in the round. Students will learn how to warp a round loom and weave for texture, while exploring a variety of different materials to create color and texture. We'll be using bulky lofty materials that work up quickly, including yarn, raw wool, roving and even mac cord so you can warp, weave and finish in one sitting.

Painting with Wool
Tiny Abstractions
"Paint" using needle felting, and create tiny treasures for holiday gifting or for your tree. Fiber artists can use wool much like paint, building layers, combining textures and even brush strokes to create depth. This workshop makes those basics even simpler by working free form, combining wool with other mixed medias like raw silk, bamboo, embroidery thread, lace, and even dried botanicals to form a "stained glass"made entirely of natural materials, encased in glass so it is safe from the elements. Perfect for last minute teacher's gifts, stocking stuffers, ornament exchanges or wearable jewelry. A bite size foray into the world of using needle felt to create abstract composition with practical purpose, rooted in sustainability. All supplies are included, tools belong to the student. Students will make two in class and will the option to purchase additional panes a la carte to take home and create independently.
