Title of Class: Intro to Fiber Arts and Textiles

Grades: 6-12th

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, paper making, leather craft, ancient dye
techniques, and upcycled denim. The second semester will focus on macrame, pom-pom
making, embroidery, crepe-paper art, and loom weaving. Students will also learn the history of
fiber arts, the specifics of each medium, and the 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 is not repeatable. If your student has already taken this class, the next class
for them would be Fiber Arts and Textiles-Extended Projects.)

A $75 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
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. 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.
