​An introduction to fiber arts for children ages 5 & up.

Course Description: This unique class allows “learning coach” and student to explore the many different types of fiber found in the world around them. They will learn of its importance and various uses while keeping a self-made journal. Students will be able to explain and complete the process of taking fiber from “lamb to loom,” and will also create a variety of handmade projects along the way. Handouts and vocabulary focus will complement the class according to age. ​
