Looking for ways to create fun fiber artworks that don’t require a ton of time, space, or money? Then come explore with us! You’ll learn how to wrap and wind all sorts of yarn over and under warp threads on prepared embroidery hoops to weave up a Circling, around cardboard squares to make a frameable Winding, and around slender rope to build a coiled basket (call ‘em Coilings–we do).
