Workshops

A complete listing of all fiber art workshops taught by April SprouleThe love of learning and in turn being given the opportunity to share what I have learned is one of the most important elements of what I do.

Stencils have been around for centuries, and they remain one of the easiest and most effective ways to apply imagery to fabrics. April has developed her own easy-to-use stencils which are perfectly suited for fiber applications such as quilting projects, wearable art, and home décor.
