Workshops
Learn the fine
art of felting in a workshop that features a step-by-step process for creating
a magically
unique felt art piece. Learn how to select wool, and with soap and water
create
an original
felted piece all your own. Learn how to design your piece, resulting in an
artful
seamless hand
bag, vessel, hat or even mittens.
Incorporate colored yarn, exotic fibers,
feathers or
beads to make your piece special. Beginners are welcome, but experienced
felters will
appreciate Susan's creative approach to the medium and find much to expand
their
knowledge, as well as a fun and meaningful workshop experience.
