FIBER CAMP 2013 !

I am offering a Fiber Camp for children ages 9 and up this summer from June 3 - 7, to be held at Sit N Rock Quilt and Sewing Shop, 1502 West Jackson Avenue in Oxford (662-234-0800, info @sitnrock.com)  My assistant and I will be teaching weaving, felted beads, embroidery, basketry and braiding techniques.  The camp is from 9 - 5 each day, and all materials are included in the fee, which is $225.  (We are offering an early registration discount of $200 for the week, before May 1st.)

A guest artist will teach spinning on the wheel as well as drop spindle.  Besides the small weaving project (below), one or two table top looms will be set up for weaving throughout the week, making mug rugs on a rigid heddle and four shaft loom.

Here are some photos of what we will be teaching.  More photos to come!
