2011 Summer Program

Experiment with fiber techniques with exotic fibers from around the world: camel from the steppes of Asia, alpaca from South America, Yak from Tibet, cashmere from goats of Mongolia and wool from the British Isles. Make rope with a machine you build designed by Leonardo daVinci; build a kumihimostand to make Japanese braids, learn wet felting and needle felting, and find out what corking is when you make leg or arm warmers. There's more if time allows.
