The Paulding Fine Arts Association will host the first Friday of each month as a day (11-4) open to any fiber artisan that wants to drop in and work on their weaving, knitting, crochet, spinning, etc. in a friendly, low-key setting.
Please bring all your own equipment and supplies. There is no formal instruction, although students in upcoming weaving classes can begin on their project early with the teacher’s help. Great for those learning how to warp a loom. For more information, check out https://www.fiberbecomesewe.com/.
