| Special Class Opportunities |
Occasionally, we will offer complimentary classes to local residents. These classes are posted on this page as they become available. We encourage you to check this page often.
Details:
- Each person may only enroll in one of these classes within a calendar year.
- You must be "local." Read below in the Am I Local? section to see if you qualify.
- Tuition is FREE, but each student will be required to pay a $25 registration fee and any additional materials costs. If there is space available and you choose to stay on campus, regular housing and meals rates apply.
- These are available on a first-come first-serve basis and may not be used on a class for which you are already registered.
- If you choose to register, you must do this by phone or in person - no online registrations, please. Call our Registration Staff (828-837-2775 or 800-365-5724) and be sure to mention that you are inquiring about the special complimentary class and the $25 registration fee to the person answering your call.

Surface Design Explorations with Instructor, Angie Knowles
2 spaces available
Color. Print. Pattern. In this introductory class, explore the process of surface design on fabric. Starting with natural fabric, learn to add color with fiber-reactive dyes, remove color with discharge products, and create texture and pattern using various printing techniques. We will also cover basic color theory and how to use these principles to make vibrant textiles for use in art quilts, conventional quilts, art-to-wear, and more. This is an active class, but no experience is required.
