Artist in Residence Workshops - August 1

This is a beginner-friendly crash course for spinning your own yarn on a drop spindle from wool. Participants only need to come with their hands and a little patience, and will be able to leave with a simple yarn that they spun themselves! Wool will be provided as part of the course, and spindles will be available for student use. The spindles and additional wool will be available to purchase after the course if students are interested in continuing their drop-spinning journey!

This course is also appropriate for wheel-spinners who are interested in learning how to use a drop spindle.

This is a beginner-friendly session for learning the basic techniques and mechanisms for designing and constructing your own paper pop-ups! Participants will leave with a pop-up that they constructed themselves and with the knowledge needed to design their own simple pop-ups in the future. Paper will be provided and all necessary tools will be available for use, however, if participants have any personal tools that they prefer using, they are welcome to bring them. You may also consider bringing some simple collage materials for customizing your project!

Payment Policy: As a nonprofit, Perceptions uses a pay what you can afford model. The suggested cost of each class covers all materials and our hosting expenses, but we never want cost to become an obstacle for attending.
