Washington Public Library is offering events to get residents crafting with no prior experience needed this Fiber Arts February.

Every year Assistant Library Director LeAnn Kunz and other staff and volunteers organize a month full of workshops and presentations on a variety of fiber arts, and the next event is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Saturday. Kunz shares that artist Carol Ray will be leading a free workshop on wrapping and coiling, “This is a really fun technique that anybody can learn. You’re wrapping and coiling and you can create baskets, placemats, other fiber sculptures, it’s really meditative. So I think it’s something that a lot of people will enjoy. We’ve done this in the past and it’s kind of been really popular, so we thought we would bring that workshop back.”

Youth can catch the fiber bug on Monday, February 28th at a do-it-yourself felt succulent workshop at 4 p.m. in the Nicola Stoufer Room. This event is open to those in fourth grade and up. Other Fiber Arts February events on the calendar are a virtual presentation of the “Collective Mending Sessions” with Catherine Reinhart on February 24th, and a Norwegian band weaving presentation by Kathleen Almelien on Saturday, February 26th. Preregistration is required for the wrapping and coiling and felt succulent workshops. For more information visit here.
