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.
