About the Course
Fiber Arts will weave through a hands-on history of traditional craft. Students will help clean, card, and process wool. They will practice spinning yarn on a spinning wheel. The class explores weaving, felting, knitting, crochet, and basket making. Fiber arts build patient practice and an appreciation for time and material. It’s a cozy and gentle way to spend the winter.
