Fiber Arts Education
Fiber Arts Education is central to the mission of the SWFAC. Our members receive first chance to fill our classes. If classes are not filled with members, we advertise them to other fiber artists and to the public. Our next class, Learn to Sew a Bog Coat, is MAY 9 and 10, 2025 from 9am-4pm, taught by professional seamstress Donna Sebastian. Deceptively simple, the possibilities are endless for making a bog coat; it can be used as outerwear, a nightgown, or even a ball gown! The simplicity of this garment allows one to embellish and trim, or just let a special fabric do the work. Class participants will bring their own fabric and working sewing machine that they know how to use. Course fee $40.
