Fiber Arts & Textiles - Extended Projects (8th-12th)

Title of Class: Fiber Arts and Textiles, Extended Projects

Grades: 8-12th

Course Description: 
Welcome to Fiber Arts and Textiles- Extended Projects! This class will introduce students to the
wonderful world of textiles using various mediums. First semester, we’ll explore a variety of
hand sewing and weaving techniques with different materials, macrame, woven vessels, leather
craft, and hand crocheting. The second semester will focus on a large-scale cross-stitching
project, hand dyeing fibers for macrame, and paper arts (painting, weaving, embroidery). 
This class is designed for individuals of all skill levels, whether you’re a beginner or have some
experience with fibers. There is no prerequisite to this class. My Intro to Fiber Arts class
explores a wide-variety of fiber arts while creating a substantial amount of smaller projects. The
Fiber Arts- Extended Projects class will allow more time to focus on a few key styles of fiber
arts, learn how to prepare, and then create more detailed projects that span many class
sessions. By the end of the year, the students will have completed 15+ projects covered by the
materials fees. So come ready to learn, create, and have fun with art!

(This class is not repeatable- if they have already taken it, the projects will not change.)

A $60 non-refundable deposit will be due by June 1, 2025 and will be applied toward the
materials Fee. This will cover the first semester Materials Fee as I need to pre-purchase all
supplies before school starts. (The second semester will have a separate materials fee due.)

Cami Ferreira is a graduate of Arizona State University with a BFA in Photography, and a
Professional Degree in Fashion Design from The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising
(Los Angeles).  As a working artist, Cami owned and operated her own accessories company,
millaTuelle, for 8 years and was a personal stylist for many years at an international company.
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

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. Cami and her husband Gus have two children, AJ (17)
and Zoey (14), and their Goldendoodle Cocoa (3). They started the adventure of homeschooling
in 2020 and they are glad to be a part of the Pacific Cross Preparatory community.
