Sharing fiber art skills is integral to the Fiber Arts Collective mission.
Through outreach programs we introduce and foster art expression and appreciation to our community. Our outreach programs teach skills and appreciation for a wide variety of fiber arts to young people in the community. Additionally, these programs teach skills that can earn income and promote inter-generational sharing of fiber art skills.
Part of our mission with SWFAC is sharing our fiber art skills, especially with youth to encourage the next generation of fiber artists. In 2024, SWFAC partnered with the Silver City and Bayard Public Libraries to share our fiber art skills with a large group of youth. The next Mending our Ways repair day with be Saturday, January 18, 2024 from 10 am to 12 noon at The Future Forge Makerspace. Community members can bring items that need a small repair like replacing a button or a tear in a shirt or pants.
