This Workshop is a Britex Fabrics Favorite and will sell out
Quickly!Be a textile know-it-all! In this class we'll detail the
process from fiber to textile, show you loads of samples and dig into
the terminology that will deeply improve your experience whether you
are a textile lover already or needing a little help on a new venture.
We'll start by demystifying the major fiber types through a
step-by-step introduction to cotton, wool, silk, linen and their
man-made counterparts. Next, we'll discuss woven fabrics vs. knit
fabrics and how each of these are constructed. During the class you'll
put together a useful swatch kit to reference in the future whenever a
refresher is desired. This workshop is perfect for anyone wanting to
improve their knowledge of textiles no matter the trade. The fee for
this workshop is $30. All materials are included.
