About the Instructor:
Savannah native Barbara Dunn has been immersed in fiber arts since childhood, when her grandmother taught her to hand-quilt. From processing raw fleece to finished piece, Barbara’s mixed-media work incorporates knitting, weaving, felting, and dyeing. She creates with the philosophy that the material reveals what it wants to become and always brings a sense of whimsy to her craft, encouraging other makers to do the same.
