Participants will create a hexagon framed weaving using weaving techniques with an assortment of fibers in colors of their choice. This is a beginner friendly class with options for intermediate and advanced makers. We will be using our hands as the primary weaving tool. I will teach students two beginner weaving knots, and more if they are keen on it. Each student will weave on a pre-warped 8” natural wood hexagon shaped frame. They will have their choice of fibers and colors from a large variety that I will bring.
All materials will be provided by the instructor and are included in the cost: 8” hex frame, fibers, and scissors.

Bio:
Formerly an elementary art teacher, I have been a full time artist and running my traveling art studio since 2020. I love all aspects of art- appreciating, creating, and teaching it. I strongly believe that creating brings out the best in us; it's what we were made to do.
Creating has always been a way of life for me. Originally a drawer and acrylic painter, I stumbled upon macramé in 2020. After one Saturday night of not giving up on the square knot to make my first plant hanger, I fell in love with knotting. Macramé opened the door to fibers for me, and now I am weaving too. There is a long running connection to fiber art in my family, and working with fibers just feels so natural. It's like home.
The best part of making art, is the making part, the process. Sharing that creative process with others is like watching magic happen. Your face lights up, you connect with others, and have a feeling of peace. It's incredible! My workshops are all beginner friendly with options for advanced makers. We paint, macramé, or weave. Public or private, I bring all of the supplies and fun, you provide the space.
