Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, college students, adults and school age children will learn basic skills in the fiber arts and use those skills to create artistic pieces that are not only artistic, but also useful. Evaluation will occur through participant questionnaires, notes taken throughout the experience, numbers participating, and participant self-reflections.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our project was focused on learning the basic skills of the fiber arts and utilizing that knowledge to create an artistic expression of what it means to your personal sustainability story to be able to create something that is not only artistic but useful and created with a light impact on the environment. The participants were able to begin the process of understanding how to create something useful and artistic while minimizing their impact on the environment.
