"I need to do this for me, its time for me to explore my passions. I want to connect with other fiber artists but I don't know where to begin".
That’s a quote from one of our fiber art students. And it’s something that we hear, a lot.
The problem ...
You’ve been doing it all alone.
Your spouse sees your art as an expensive hobby. Your family complains that it takes up too much of your time. Your friends don’t understand your “obsession” with your projects.
You’ve connected with some local artsy-craftsy types, but they’re working in different media, so you can’t really talk shop, and get all nitty-gritty into the details like you long to.
You feel isolated. Disconnected. Alone.
You’ve lost your mojo.
Putting others first, and your art (and yourself) last… has been depleting. You’re tired, and have lost touch with the inspiration that got you playing with fabric and fiber in the first place.
The juices aren’t flowing, the spark has petered out. Your artwork has come to a standstill—or you’re covering the same ground, again and again.
You feel stuck.
You’ve got more tools than you know what to do with.
You’re excited… and if you were totally honest, a bit dazed with all of the shiny, untouched art supplies in your studio.
Hey, no judgment here: all artists are art supply junkies. The art supply store is our candy store.
But looking around at all of the tools, each one of which intrigued and seduced you when you purchased it, makes you feel overwhelmed. And a little guilty.
You want to show your art, get it seen, and take it—and yourself—more seriously.
You’re ready to break ground… To take your creativity into the light.
But you have no idea where to begin, or how. You don’t know who to ask, or what to ask, for that matter…
You feel discouraged, and again: isolated. Alone.
The solution ...
