.The Fredericksburg Spinners and Weavers Guild will present hands-on workshops to look at the history and evolution of fiber arts in Virginia over the past 250 years.
Four 50-minute sessions will explore fiber preparation, dying, spinning, and weaving. Participants will have the opportunity to touch and work with fiber in each session. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Workshops are limited to 10 participants and will be presented four times during the day. Participants can sign up for only one timeslot per day. For questions, please reach out to the Fredericksburg Spinners and Weavers Guild at fswguild@gmail.com Registration required.
This project was supported, in part, by the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission (VA250), and with this support we are able to present a series of classes and workshops with the theme "The Evolution of the Traditional Fiber Arts from the 18th century to the Modern Day Artform".
