Hi to everyone out in Sun Dragon Land! The snow is supposed to start falling tomorrow (Friday) mid morning, so out of an abundance of caution (steep and curvy roads), we are not opening the shop tomorrow. In other words



The shop will be

CLOSED

Friday January 10

We apologize for the inconvenience, however with potentially 6+ inches of snow locals should be staying home too! We will keep you posted on Saturday, a lot of that depends on Friday. If I lose power and can't update this page, we would advise calling the shop (828-877-3550) before heading our way. If we don't pick up during business hours, there's a good chance we haven't been able to make it in.

Locals, come in Thursday (today as of the writing of this post) to stock up on snow projects!

❤️ Rebecca, Liz, and Hannah

We are open at our new location

our current location: 181 Rosman Highway, Brevard

We have weathered Hurricane Helene, and while I’m waiting for power at home, our new location at 181 Rosman Highway, Crossroads Village, has power and internet, so we are open for business!

This new location is on Route 64 on the southwest end of Brevard, next to Subway on the left as you are leaving town to head to Rosman/Lake Toxaway/Sapphire/Cashiers etc, on the right just before town if you are heading in from those aforementioned locations.

Thanks for your support as we find stability during these tumultuous times. We are back to regular hours, Tuesday-Saturday 10-5, you are welcome to come hang in our cozy “living room” space whenever we are open, though there is more chance for a crowd on Wednesday mornings and Saturday Afternoons.

**************************************************************

In-Person Group Classes, Contact the shop to reserve your spot:

Most classes $40/session for multiple sessions. Group class fees cover 2 sessions of 1-2 hours each as the optimal time to engage the brain, provide time for progress between sessions. If classes lend themselves to one session or more than two, fees will be higher or lower, and follow-up help is usually available at reduced rates

Please sign up in advance for classes directly with me by emailing rebecca@sundragonartandfiber.com or calling the shop (828-877-3550). I will let you know if there is space in the class. Class fees cover instruction only unless specified. Ideally each class will be limited to 4 students. If you are not able to attend both sessions, the class fee is still the same, please consider this when signing up: we will work with you to schedule another meeting time if possible.

At this time we do not have the capacity for virtual classes.

We have over 1800 subscribers, and it is the best way to stay up to date on what is happening in the shop. whenever I get a chance I’ll update the link below to a recent episode. Please note as we recover from Covid we are not filming as many times a week:

Our Location

Sun Dragon Art & Fiber has just moved to 181 Rosman Highway- we are just outside the southwest corner of town, as you head towards Rosman/Lake Toxaway on route 64, in Crossroads Village next to the Subway. Click Here for directions.

The strength of the Sun Dragon

The name Sun Dragon comes from a recent Christmas present from my nephew, a 9 year old genius with origami.  He made everyone individualized origami dragons with descriptions specific to the person.  My message read: “if you were a dragon in my origami world I think you would be a sun dragon.  Sun dragons are very active and creative.” He recognized my passion for fiber work (I knit or crochet all my gifts and have for years). This message has resonated with me: I have embraced this notion, and wish to make others active, creative individuals as well.   Sun Dragon Art & Fiber combines my artistic expertise with my nephew’s passion for art and creativity, offering instruction and supplies in yarn, knitting and crochet notions, paint, origami, papercrafts, adult coloring books, and other artful forms of expression.

For the love of Creativity

Rebecca Smith has been involved in the arts & crafts world her entire life, though has recently moved to make her passion her life's work. She has been a skilled knitter for over a dozen years, with crochet following right behind. Engagement and training in the fine arts dates back to her early years, from art classes to theater set work. For the past 18 years she has been an educator of all age groups in private schools up and down the east coast. For instruction and guidance in all things fiber (yarn) and creativity, look no further!

In every school she has taught at, Rebecca has also had a hand in the technical theater programs, with a concentration in scenic painting. Her years working with art and theater instruction have prepared her well to stock the art supply section of Sun Dragon with a solid range of foundational tools and media.
