Join us for an afternoon of fiber fun with local artist and designer, Mikaela Simon! Simon will be leading the group in yarn painting, a beginner-friendly way to create colorful, textured pieces using yarn. All supplies are included.

This event is for adults (18+).

Registration Required. Please cancel your registration if you are unable to attend so that those on the waitlist may join.

If you’re on the waitlist, we’ll email you right away if a spot opens. If you don’t hear from us, the class is full—but we hope you’ll join us for a future session!

About the Instructor: Mikaela Simon (she/they) is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Jersey City, NJ. Working primarily in the mediums of collage and playwriting, Mikaela finds that their background in performing arts helps to inform their visual creative process. In 2019, Mikaela earned her BA in Theatre Arts from Drew University, where she spent a significant amount of time designing and writing. Her art training began long before that, at her parents’ kitchen table in Shiloh, NJ where her art teacher mother would allow her and her younger brother to make messes and experiment with paint, ink, scissors, and glue. This laid a foundation of permission to play, something she brings with her in all artistic pursuits. When she’s not writing or collaging, she works as a teaching artist at libraries and schools, spends time working in exhibition production in museums, and organizes with Food Not Bombs JC. They love the month of October, cooking in their crockpot, and their dogs, Breezy and Luna.
