Just in time for those wanting to put wool to creative use before winter, Waubonsee Community College’s Community Education will offer enrichment classes, “Explore the Fiber Arts with Natasha Lewis” this fall.
The owner of Esther’s Place in Big Rock, Ill., Lewis is a shepherd and fiber artist whose portfolio includes installation pieces, clothing and sculpture. She has participated in juried exhibitions and teaches for guilds, libraries, schools, the Chicago Botanic Gardens and the Midwest Fiber and Folk Art Festival.
Lewis will offer three personal enrichment courses this fall:
- Learn to Needle Felt: Fall Pumpkins, Oct. 15, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
- Learn to Needle Felt: Elves n’ Trees, Nov. 12, 6:30 to 9:00 p.m.
- Learn to Needle Felt: Twiggy Reindeer, Nov. 17, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
All classes take place in Weigel Hall at the Sugar Grove Campus, Route 47 at Waubonsee Drive. Each class costs $25, and that fee includes all materials. For more information about these or other Community Education classes, visit www.waubonsee.edu/communityEd or call (630) 466-2360.
