In our Eco-Print workshops at Aya Fiber Studio, we focus on learning techniques through hands-on experimentation. The goal is to create sample-sized pieces you can refer back to and recreate at home—not finished products to sell. You’ll likely leave with many useful samples (both successful and not), which are more valuable for learning than one or two polished items.
