5th Saturday Workshop: Closures

Wichita Weavers, Spinners & Dyers Guild Posted on November 28, 2023 by WebAdminDecember 8, 2023

“Closures” is a fitting theme for this end-of-year day of making! All three classes are centered around different ways to create custom fastenings for garments or accessories, using historic methods.

Click on a link below to register separately for each class.

First, learn how to make Dorset buttons out of thread or yarn, to match or contrast with special handcrafted items. Stick around for the next class on making frog closures. This pair of classes comes with a special offer – save $5 when you register and attend both!

After lunch, learn about lucet braiding. This simple and versatile technique uses a lucet tool (you’ll get your own to take home!) to create cording that can be used for drawstrings, ties or laces, as well as fun and kid-friendly items like bracelets.

FUN(d) Raisers

Wichita Weavers, Spinners & Dyers Guild Posted on November 26, 2023 by webadminJanuary 4, 2024

We have two drop-in events scheduled for early December – just in time for you to make fun gifts or take a break and create something unique for yourself!

There is NO pre-registration for either of these activities, but don’t wait too late in the day, since supplies are limited.

First is our always-popular sock dyeing, scheduled for Sunday, December 3, from 1 – 4 pm. We’ll have white bamboo socks in adult and kid sizes, ready for your creative skills and eye for color. The cost is just $15 per pair.

Next up (Saturday, December 9, from 1 – 4 pm) is a new kind of project – needle felted Christmas ornaments. You’ll start with a felted ball, then choose colors of dyed wool to needle felt in your own design. These would be great to decorate a wreath, tie on a gift, or hang on your tree, for only $10 per ornament.

All proceeds will go toward supporting the Wichita Weavers, Spinners & Dyers Guild and its mission of supporting education through the Fiber Arts Center of Wichita.
