Intro to Fiber Arts and Textiles

 

Grades: 7-12th grade

 

Course Description: 

Welcome to Intro to Fiber Arts and Textiles! This class will introduce students to the wonderful world of textiles using various mediums. First semester, we’ll dive into techniques such as macrame knotting, hand sewing, textile stamping, pom-pom making, ancient dye techniques, and upcycled denim. The second semester will focus on macrame, fibers in jewelry, hand sewing, crepe-paper art and loom weaving. Students will also learn the history of fiber arts, the specifics of each medium, and art appreciation of working fiber artists. This class is designed for individuals of all skill levels, whether you’re a beginner or have some experience with fibers. By the end of the year, the students will have completed 25+ projects covered by the materials fees. So come ready to learn, create, and have fun with art!

This class has projects geared toward girls but boys are welcome to join us.

 

(This class is a repeat of the 2023-24 Fiber Arts and Textiles. If your student already took this class, the next level for them would be Fiber Arts and Textiles-Extended Projects.)

 

A $75 non-refundable deposit will be due by June 1, 2024 and will be applied toward the materials fees. This will cover the first semester materials fee as I need to pre-purchase all supplies before school starts. (Second semester will have a separate materials fee due.)

She has had a variety of freelance jobs in photography, drawing, and painting including illustrating a children’s book that celebrated the 500-year Anniversary of the Reformation in 2017. Growing up in a musical family, Cami started singing in church as a young child and has had multiple opportunities to perform and record with other Christian artists.  She has always felt that God gave her a voice and love for singing to worship Him and Him alone and uses her gifts to lead worship at her church regularly.

They started the adventure of homeschooling in 2020 and they are glad to be a part of the Pacific Cross Preparatory community.
