Are you ready to sail through the ocean of fiber arts? This week you will leave you with new love for an art medium. Not only will you learn how to weave, but also sew, embroider, and express yourself through art. Join us as we create textile jewelry, felt pins/brooches, and explore rug hooking!

Ages 9-11

Grace McFetters

Grace has been learning her craft of fiber arts since 2015. She began with knitting, followed by spinning, which eventually led to weaving and dyeing.

Grace’s Artist Statement:

My work is exploratory.  The act of creation with fiber arts is more about the process than the end product. I begin my work often from the raw material, then design yarn or place wool for felting, and can still plan multiple projects from the yarn I can create. I search for locally sourced materials, using wool and alpaca from local regions.  I seek to use yarns manufactured in NC. Using local materials keeps me grounded, and helps me feel more connected to my local community. 

As a former interior designer, my intent is to create practical textiles used in interiors. I am interested in weaving rugs, upholstery, blankets, table linens, tapestries, throw pillows, coverlets, and hand towels.
