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!

Weaving School / Classes Chicago Land Area

We've had a whole lot of interest in our weaving classes this fall...so we've brought in more looms for students to work on. Students start out on rigid heddle or table looms...your choice...but then we love to turn you on to the "big girl" floor looms as fast as we can. They are a whole lot of fun!



This is Dottie threading a 4shaft 36" loom.



This is a hand painted (see the color changes)shadow weave pattern in Rayon Chenille (very cozy!)



This is Chris A with her table runner woven in rep weave.
