Fiber Week
Fiber Focus Week at RMFS
At Rocky Mountain Folk School, we’re thrilled to announce our inaugural Fiber Focus Week, running from September 27 to October 5.
Join us for an intimate exploration of the textile arts with our four captivating workshops: Primitive Rug Hooking, Botanical Printing, Intro to Twining a Mat and Intro to Weaving. Immerse yourself in the world of primitive rug hooking, where you’ll learn to create vintage-style rugs using a variety of wools and primitive cuts, guided by Theresa’s expert instruction. Delve into the ancient art of botanical printing, where natural elements transform fabric into unique works of art. Discover the traditional technique of twining as you learn to create durable and beautiful mats from natural fibers. Or learn the foundational techniques of weaving, from setting up a loom to creating intricate patterns and textures.
With expert instruction and a welcoming atmosphere, our workshops offer the perfect opportunity to celebrate the love of fiber and discover the joys of handmade crafts. Secure your spot today and embark on a journey of creativity and connection in the heart of the Rocky Mountains!
