All Things Fiber Arts
Summer Youth | Available
This week of classes welcomes all beginners and encourages students to jump right into the medium of fiber.
We will learn some hand sewing, felting, and natural dyeing. This class is designed to give an overview of the many ways one can manipulate fiber to our benefit. We will start small, honing our motor skills and then build up to making bigger aesthetic changes through the layering of materials and addition of color.
Moving quickly through four disciplines, we will develop an understanding of embroidery, Sashiko, felting, and natural dyes. Each day will broaden our understanding of fiber as a craft. The goal is to leave the week with some technical ability but mainly the curiosity to apply this information to future projects. All students will produce a sampler that will house an example of each technique in one place.
There is a $4 registration fee included in tuition.
Members will have the $4 deducted from tuition.
This class is held in the Fiber Studio there will be a set of steps to walk down.
Please note that classes at Brookfield Craft Center must meet a minimum number of 2 registrations for the class to run. Students will be notified within a week's notice whether their class will be held. If the class is canceled due to low enrollment, students may request to be transferred to another class or be refunded in full.
