Book A Workshop
Dawn loves to teach and be inspired by the work of her students. She focuses heavily on the process and one-on-one interaction with each student, whether beginner or advanced fibre artist. Many samples are made available and demonstrations are provided throughout the workshop.
Classes run from 4 hours to 2-days, depending on the process and your time. Dawn can accomodate groups up to 12, as long as there is sufficient work space for the project. Some projects require water and heating implements and some are messy.
Suitable facilities need to be available.
Supply lists are provided well in advance and kits are provided at an extra fee to make sure you have all the correct materials and tools needed for success.
Teaching fees & kit fees are available upon request.
