Felting Workshop: What Else is Possible?

 I'm offering a Felting Class called What Else is Possible? This class gives you the opportunity to explore the wet felting process through colour, design, surface texture, fiber manipulation or whatever you choose. It's a way to take your felting to the next level and allow your creativity to flow.
We will be working on either a 3 dimensional piece such as a vase, bowl or slippers, or are flat piece to hang on a wall or sew into a pillow. The choice is yours.
Saturday August 16 and Sunday August 17.

Transforming Fiber into Fun

 It is really exciting to plunder my stash in order to card up a bunch of fibers to create an art batt that will one day may be spun up into yarn or added into a felted piece.

Colour makes Felting Fun

Felting has become part of my daily routine...along with my knitting. I spend  at least a few minutes in my studio every day playing with fiber. Sometimes I just make pieces of flat felt...because I can...and don't always know what I'll do with them. Sometimes I make vessels as I love the 3 dimensional aspect of forming the wool into shapes. I approach my felting practice very much like I do my painting practice and I laugh at the results as they are very often similar.                      

I am teaching a felting workshop on June 7 & 8 which is for both the beginner and the advanced felter

Vesseles: A Felting Workshop....see the facebook page for details

Pillows made from my felted work

Vessels: having fun making them and adding more

 I am having a great time making vessels...It seems every few days a new one arises. I am experimenting with different elements and colours and seeing what I get...things are getting more predictable.
Wondering what one does with a vessel, I spied my favourtie girl hanging in the corner of my studio.
She seemed to fit in perfectly.

Felt: :Feutre - Contemporary Canadian Felt

I am off to felt: :feutre tomorrow on Salt Spring Island, BC. There are workshops, exhibitions and a fashion show all celebrating contemporary Canadian Feltmaking.
I look forward to 5 days of felt making, advancing my techniques and working together with fellow felting enthusiasts.
When I come back I will be teaching felting classes at the Art of Yarn and ready to share some of the new things that I have learned.
