A Year in the Life of an Independent Dyer and Fiber Artist
About A Year in the Life of an Independent Dyer and Fiber Artist
Ever wonder how a PhD in science could prepare you for a creative life in fiber and as an entrepreneur? Unabashed fiber nerd Jill Duarte of HipStrings will relate how their background in academia is now employed to manage their life as a dyer, maker, business owner and educator in the fiber arts. Join them as they walk through the seasons to prepare for fiber festivals, develop classes, write articles, maintain e-commerce storefronts and still find time to keep learning about fiber and handspinning.
