Students will learn the basics of four Fiber Arts areas: Drop Spinning, Scouring Fleece, Weaving, and Felting. The full Fiber Arts course has twenty 1 to 2 hour classes. The classes are designed for students to build skills as they progress through the curriculum which enhance other sections, i.e. scoured fleeces will be used in spinning and felting courses, yarn spun will be used in weaving lessons. It is possible to just take one of the four sections by itself. There will be homework for students to complete prior to the next class. As class progresses, students will create a portfolio which will be shared at a portfolio presentation celebration. Fine motor skills and ability to follow instructions is required.
