It is a life changing experience.” Workshop Participant Wondering what to wear? Bring comfortable expressive clothes you feel good in, and feel free to dress up or down...fun things you love and maybe don't always give yourself permission to wear. Include layers. In a community of fellow fiber artists, you can express yourself in many fun ways. You might want to include casual clothes for morning walks and an apron or t-shirt for surface design. | |||||||
