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.
