If you have been curious about fiber arts or are ready to dip your fingers back into fabric and thread, join us for this sampler of fiber techniques. We will try out surface design such as needle felting, painting fabric, fabric collage or piecing, and simple embroidery. Fiber enthusiasts of all levels are welcome to get creative each week with skills and materials that will build into a final project.
