McFetters, Grace

Grace McFetters has studied various fiber arts since 2013, starting with knitting.  She began to explore weaving in early 2017. Grace established her fiber studio, Transcend Fiber Studio, in 2018, and formalized her fiber business in early 2020.  She has taught Ukrainian Easter Eggs since 2011, and began teaching fiber arts, including knitting, weaving, hand spinning, and dyeing since 2018. As Grace grows as an artist and continues learning new techniques, she continues to add to her teaching repertoire.  She now teaches sewing, both by hand and by machine, as well as some fun topics like needle felting, wool painting, and textile collage!
