Fiber Labs & More

Spring Peek

A NEW BOUQUET OF CLASSES

Washington Heights Arts Center will pilot a bouquet of new classes and workshops focused on fibers this spring. Growing out of a long tradition of weaving, these classes branch out to new areas including dyeing, mending, tufting, embroidery, felting, and more. Particularly exciting is a new series of “Fibers Labs” — a textile spin-off of our popular “Clay Lab” series. Fiber Lab nights are an easy, social way to try out new crafts — all materials are provided and no experience is necessary! Led by new instructor Diana Pemberton, each night has a different threehour project simple enough to fi nish that night or take home to complete later. Cozy up in winter with a creative mending night, warm up to spring with handmade coil baskets, and celebrate the full bloom of the season with a night of fl ower pounding onto fabric. Interested? Join one, or all, of these unique opportunities and experience the innovation our fibers studio has in store.
