WHERE COLOUR MEETS CRAFT

welcoming all multicraftual makers and fibre arts friends

What’s more fun than taking a puff of fluff and spinning it into yarn? Or dyeing a skein of yarn into something unique and exquisite? Or weaving it all up into a colourful cloth?

The School of SweetGeorgia is the place where an entire community of diverse and passionate fibre artists are gathering to learn about colour and craft. Join us to access an entire library of fibre arts courses designed to get you started.

WHY THE SCHOOL OF SWEETGEORGIA

It’s about craft, it’s about colour, and it’s about to come to life.

My name is Felicia Lo Wong and I’ve been driven by an insatiable desire to “make & do” for my entire life. That passion has led me to become a business owner and educator. 

In 2005, I founded SweetGeorgia Yarns, an artisan hand-dyed yarn company, and in 2017, I published my first book with Interweave Press, Dyeing to Spin & Knit.

The big dream that I’ve been working on in the background for several years now is an online school for colour and craft. A place where we can dive deep and learn in-depth about hand dyeing with acid dyes and fibre reactive dyes, natural dyeing, hand-painting warps for weaving, spinning intentional yarns for socks or shawls, and working with colour in knitting, and so much more.

My focus and my desire is to do what I have always done… be passionately curious about creating colour and then documenting and sharing how I’m doing it. My mission and the mission of SweetGeorgia is the same as it has always been…

My mission is to share the joy of colour and craft.

So, if you are passionate about knitting, spinning, weaving, dyeing, and colour, I would love for you to join me in creating this online learning community.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY

testimonials from our community of makers

I love that I have a goals thread and that there are visible goals everywhere, from my profile points to be filled out, to awards to be won, to forums to be read, and courses that give certificates at the end. It’s very inspirational and makes me feel like I have things to reach for. And I always love reading about other students’ work, because they always surprise and inspire me! No matter what I imagine, it never encompasses what other people come up with. I also really appreciate the energy and positivity of the office hours—that’s something that has really pulled me through this hard time and drew me to the school

Yes! I am a new member and love the variety and the depth of classes. I like the accessibility and the learning bytes. As a full-time manager, my time is limited. Short bursts of SOS work well for me now. I like the availability and variety of courses; excellent explanations and comfortable delivery. Complimentary areas of fibre arts. SOS provides easy access to the next level of many of my interests, e.g spinning, dying, weaving, knitting and colour study.

Yes! I've been evangelizing it to everyone 🙂 I think this is the best find since I started trying to learn how to spin during a pandemic. I got my wheel in early September, had a virtual class that... wasn't very good. Signed up for the spin along with my LYS (why not?) and then had some anxiety when I realized I had no idea what to do. I looked you up and haven't looked back since. The spinning class made the difference. I am starting the new spinning class this weekend. Going to learn to spin intentionally!!! Thank you for being here. I like the informative, inspirational, absolutely fantastic training. Felicia is absolutely accessible: she comes across as someone who could be my best friend, lol. That helps a lot when trying to learn something new. It builds trust over a video connection! Now that's talent.

I find there is a zen to the School. I can just listen to the teachers going on even if it’s not a part of fiber arts I think I’m interested in...and then I am thinking about these topics later! The accessibility to ask questions and get information in multiple ways is very helpful. As a young(er) weaver, I feel like it makes the craft come into the modern world with the live office hours, tutorials, and a young vibrancy I haven’t seen elsewhere. I truly appreciate the School’s many offerings across the fiber arts spectrum. Thank you SO much for starting this school and giving me some much needed inspiration for my craft!

I’ve started dyeing my own yarn now and I feel it has added so much dimension to a hobby I already loved. At this point I’m in love with everything. I like how open you are about your life and how your hobby turned into your career. I think it’s great that you offer live office hours because, even watching the old ones, I have many of my own questions answered. I love that they are always available.
