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. Please reach out to us at information@fiberartscollective.org if you would like to lead a class or have an idea for a class for which you’d like SWFAC to identify an instructor. Fees charged for the classes go to the instructor.
SWFAC’s Upcoming Creative Classes Include:
Title of Class: Ice-Dyeing with Shibori folds
Instructor: Brenda Holzinger
Date/Time: June 19th, 9am to 12pm and (pickup of items within 6-48 hours to be arranged individually)
Class Fee and Deadline: $31 members, $41 nonmembers, June 16
In this class you will learn the basics of ice-dyeing and traditional shibori resist folds so you can create your own unique tea towel/wall hanging and a foldable tote bag. We will use dyes created especially for the ice dyeing process, and you will learn to fold, dye and apply ice to your own items.
