Josh always felt inspired by yarn and what you can make with it. It was a natural progression when he started to dye wool, spin it into yarn, and ultimately, create surface designs. In 2013, Josh formally launched his fiber arts studio, Icon Fiber Arts, as a part buds ‘n bloom. Josh's experience as an instructor is well rounded. He formerly worked for United Healthcare in Green Bay as a Trainer and Learning Specialist. He has taught classes for Traveling Treadlers Fiber Arts Guild and the Bay Lakes Knitting Guild. He also provides one on one instruction for knitting, crochet, weaving, felting, hand spinning, and dyeing.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCancellation \u0026amp; Attendance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA refund will be provided to attendees who cancel 24 hours in advance of their scheduled lesson.
