Introduction to Fibre Arts

Age:18+

Day: Thursdays, 4 classes

Start/End: July 11 - August 1, 2024

Time: 6 - 9 PM

Cost: M: $140 NM: $160

Instructor: Beth Martin

Learn the basics of three foundational fibre arts – crochet, punch needle and macrame – through four beginner-friendly projects. Over four weeks, you’ll make a punch needle coaster, learn to crochet both a granny square and a floral sculpture, and create a hanging macrame plant holder. While suitable for absolute beginners, all four projects can be made more advanced for experienced students. 

Adult students are required to supply their own yarn selections, macrame fibre and ring based on a list to be provided to all students ahead of the first day of class. Students have the option to either provide their own punch needle and crochet hook or rent these items from the instructor.

A bout the Instructor:

Beth Martin is a fibre artist with a focus on subverting imagery and objects through the use of yarn, with an emphasis on elevating what is often thought of as a hobby medium. As an instructor, she builds her courses around feminism and accessibility as they relate to craft.
