New Felt Making Class....Just Added

FELTING SKILLS: BEGINNERS INTRO / Flat Felt with a Flounce! Scarf

Instructor:  Tammy L. Deck

Introduced at the One of a Kind Show.... a scarf style that is suitable for beginner students to wet felting for the first time.  Come learn this  fun, unusual process and make your own soft, sculptural felt fabric to be used as a neck scarf. Wet felting by-passes spinning and knitting (it's true! there's no knitting involved) and capitalizes on the natural attributes of animal hair fibers to bond together in the formation of a "non-woven" fabric. During Tammy's 4 hour workshop, each student will work super soft merino wool (a whole palette of color options available) and learn how to layout the fiber, wet it and work it into their finished piece which includes hole cutting and flounce edge shaping.
NO KNITTING, CROCHETING OR FELTING NEEDLES are used during this process!!
All materials and equipment supplied. Come ready for a soap and water work out!
Date: January 31, 2013 *
Meets: Thursday, 11am to 3pm (ish)
Fee: $85 (all materials provided)

New Class Added:

Felted Silk Flounce Shawl / Scarf

I've had several inquiries from people
wanting to learn how ruffles or a "flounce" can be
created through wet felting.

So, we've added a workshop to our roster.

Thursday, January 27th is our first run date

Sunday, February 27th is the next one.

Here's a link to our full description and paypal

Felted Silk Flounce Shawl Class

All materials are included!!!

Felt Making Classes including laminated (nuno) techniques

I visited the one of a kind show this past weekend...what a gorgeous show! I was elated to see all the felt art on exhibit this year! Of course it was fun to see so many of my own felting students in the mix. This medium is so awesome...so much room for individual expression. Jill Lynn was a new name to me...loved her work! I think she's from Minnesota.

Well...I've been packing our Class schedule with felting classes...nuno, included. In fact, I just started teaching this shawl (yes, it's a shawl worn to look like a wrap top)...but I'm going one on one with individuals because the piece is so large.

So, if you're looking for felt making classes, follow this link over to our classes: clicky on this!
