Tales of apocalypse rivet our imagination. We wonder not only how survivors would recreate society, but also about day-to-day practical survival in a world of disrupted supply chains. This class taps into that vein of interest by teaching fiber techniques with upcycled or ordinary household materials as inputs and useful objects as outputs. The goal is the satisfaction of handcrafting practical things, rather than prepping for a real-life apocalypse (which, in fact, might be avoided with widespread commitment to simpler living).
Please pre-register so I can send you a link about project choices and garner suggestions for a post-civilization/dystopian soundtrack for our workshop.
