FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2011
Thinking outside the fiber box: Steven encourages you to express yourself like never before. There are no rules, no mistakes, only variations. We will explore a variety of fiber techniques in this class-knit, crochet, felting, weaving and more. Exciting combinations of these techniques allow us to discover the fusion where crafting converges with art. Students are encouraged to experiment and express themselves through a variety of freeform techniques. Projects range from wearables to wall art, sculpture to runway and beyond. Your personal treasure chest of trinkets, baubles, fibers, and beads can be used. The usual constricting pattern lines will be blurred and the outcome is a one-of–a-kind masterpiece. Techniques employed are knitting, crocheting, embroidery, and weaving, along with both wet and needle felting. Skill Level: Basic to advanced knit, crochet, and felting skills needed, or any combination of these with a deep desire to create. Beginning knitting and crocheting will not be taught.
