Upcoming Event

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
​
Fran Thompson
Fiber is Fran's medium. Crochet, felting, stitching, sewing in stand alone or combination is her art form. She started sewing as a child and by high school was making most of her school wardrobe. Her first prom dress was a hand-me-down that she altered. Most recently, Fran spent a week in the Shetland Islands felting with an internationally known instructor. Heavenly!
Kendra Smith
Kendra has been a fiber artist all her life. She learned to sew and knit as a child, and went on to learn weaving, spinning, and felting through classes with several master fiber artists. Her limited edition felted dancer sculptures have been in juried shows around the DC region. Kendra is also the current president of Muddy Creek Artists Guild.

Weave a Wall Hanging: A Hands-On Fiber Art Workshop
with artists Fran Thompson and Kendra Smith
Come make something beautiful with your own two hands! In this playful, no-experience-needed workshop, you'll design and weave a small wall hanging to take home and display.
​
We'll provide expert instruction, a selection of frames, and warp (the vertical threads) to get you started. Then the fun begins: raid our treasure trove of weft materials (the horizontal, left-to-right threads), including colorful yarns, satiny ribbons, chunky T-shirt yarn, natural and organic finds, and a sparkling assortment of beads, baubles, and other embellishments. Mix textures, play with color, and let your creativity lead the way.
​
Have a special scrap, a favorite ribbon, or a keepsake bead? Bring it along and weave it into your piece!
​
Space is limited to 20 participants, so sign up early to reserve your spot.
Join us! EVENT REGISTRATION: $35
Registration includes all materials as well as a complimentary beverage. The artist will demonstrate the technique and provide tips and guidance throughout the workshop. Other MCAG member artists will be available for support as well.
