Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project, community members will have a beginning understanding of traditional fiber arts and have created one project per class to use in their home. Using pre-workshop questions, we will determine the beginning skill set and knowledge of all workshop attendees. After completion of a project, the post-workshop questions will show the level of knowledge acquired
