Fiber Arts Kids Classes
Children are encouraged in self-expression.

Our class provides a 'Do-It-Yourself' experience for children. It is a process-oriented program that empowers every child to create with confidence without the fear of making a mistake. In class children of different levels can learn together while pursuing their own individual projects with semi-private instruction and guidance. They will have opportunities to exhibit their works in one of our show.
