Understanding Fabric


Classes for Adults / Art & Music -
Spring 2025-Adult

Buying fabric can be confusing, especially online. Discuss words like "hand" and "drape", and the difference between silk and satin in this brief introduction into fibers, weave structures, performance attributes, and buying strategies. A collection of swatches will be made for you to refer to in the future.
