Course Description

Note, this is my first year covering the Metals and Fibers curriculum. I've been working with the Fiber art for almost 30 years and Metal fabrication for about 20 but not as extensively as fibers. So be ready for Units to shift and change as we go, feel free to suggest topics you'd like to cover or avoid ;-)
