We will be building hands-on skills in a variety of textile techniques: weaving, stitching, dyeing, layering, and more! This course is open to all levels of experience.

When she came upon the Foxfire Books during high school, the photos of spinning wheels and looms struck a chord. At college, in Kentucky, she learned to weave while majoring in Art Education and Printmaking. After college, she returned to Texas where she learned to spin through the Dallas Hand Weavers and Spinners Guild. Through the Guild and other organizations she has taught or demonstrated textile crafts in many places. June has presented textile workshops at Mountain and Valley Wool Festival, Española Valley Fiber Arts Center in New Mexico as well as Oil and Cotton, Dallas Museum of Art, Perot Museum and Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, Texas. She is always happiest in a room full of people who are making things. The sense of community that grows, even temporarily, from the experience and in good company is deeply satisfying. Time has a way of slowing down while folks work together. This class is a weekly series with no makeups or credit for missed weeks. Please read our cancellation policy.
