Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants will learn about embroidery, finger knitting, felting, jewelry-making, tie-dye, pom-poms patterns and sewing and will be able to take their creation home with them. They will be inspired, gain information and gather ideas on extending projects at home.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants were exposed to a variety of textile crafts and learned skills to continue the practice at home. Virtually all respondents in all programs indicated they were "inspired" or "highly inspired" by the class. One respondent said, "I found a hobby/skill that will help me slow down and be mindful." Another said, "I have learned a couple different techniques that might be fun to use for gift making."
