Textile Earring Workshop

with guest facilitator Barbara Roe Hebb

When searching for earrings that were colourful, fun & lightweight and not made of plastic, Barb settled on creating her own which she called ‘Fandangles’. The freedom to try different colour combinations and shapes has been such a pleasure. Choosing natural fibers to keep a lighter footprint.
