Class Price: $125
In this 6 hour workshop spread over 2 evenings, students will learn the essentials of modern round weaving by creating a weaving on a 16-inch embroidery hoop. Talented local artist Elysia Fischbach will guide you through basic round weaving techniques using a variety of colorful and textured fibers to create your fiber art piece. If you have taken her Intro to Round Weaving or Wildflower Weaving, this will be a great next level class to take, although it is not required, only beneficial. Check out her Instagram for inspiration and design ideas! Eastside Fiber Works: @eastsidefiberworks
