Rock Ridge Craft School

Brooklyn School Visit

Brooklyn School is learning about fabric - how it is made and where it comes from. So three classes are coming throughout the day to see how wool is processed from sheep, sorted, washed, dyed, carded, spun, felted or woven and the different creations to be made from wool. What a great opportunity to be able to see this whole process and literally just around the corner from the school.
