The departure point for this class will be a Q&A session with examples from Jorie’s co-authored book Fabulous Felted Scarves (Lark Books, USA). Sampling of applicable fibers and techniques before larger neck wraps are designed and produced.	Maiwa Printworks, Ltd.

Japan: Kyoto 2011: Nov 10 - 13 Bag Making Intensive: This is the third annual class covering bags of all shapes and sizes. We will sample bag friendly closures, cord and strap making, pockets and their functions, simple finishing techniques with leather, as well as discussions covering design, function and best choices of fiber. Students with some experience will find this class an excellent practice in the art of classic and eccentric bag development.

The Netherlands: Oldeberkoop 2011: August 2 - 4 Surface Development: Refined & Funky Berets: The difference between a brimmed hat and a beret is like the main course and dessert. The quality of fabric, shape and drape that a beret requires merits special attention. We will design a series of berets, some of which can be subsequently over-dyed to enhance or erase design motif. Consider dip-dye, over-dyeing of design, shaped-dyeing with simple and effective, traditional Japanese tie and dye techniques, as well as color and fiber blending, open cut work, inlay and lamination possibilities as part of the general design process. Thin, well felted, nicely shaped, unique head toppers will be our goal. Students with some experience in either field will find possibilities to refine their skills from the lessons and visual presentations provided.

The Netherlands: Heemstede 2011: August 9-11 Felt Furoshikis: The Depth and Breadth of Color in Feltmaking Exercises will be introduced to study the depth of color in felt design by graduated design layers, encapsulation and isolation techniques, color and fiber blending skills, as the basis for fabrics and objects. During the first two days participants will make group and solo exercises to be divided among the group members, followed by a three-dimensional surface play. Expect to complete a uniquely personal wrapping cloth or pouch for which a special item or function is fulfilled.

The Netherlands: Oldeberkoop 2011 : August 6 -7 How Color Plays in Feltmaking: This class is based on a series of short group and personal samplings digging deeper under the surface to expose the capabilities of the medium.

The samples will be shared among 3-4 group members and follow a set of printed instructions.

Thin, well felted, nicely shaped, unique head toppers will be our goal. A spin off of the circular form will also be the departure point for those of you who prefer to commit your time to bags of all functions. Students with some experience in either field will find possibilities to refine their skills from the lessons and visual presentations provided. This is Jorie's ONLY USA venue this year.

Through demonstrations and guided group exercises participants will learn ways of shaping to create and enhance both felted forms and fabric surfaces. “B” is also for brain, thus we will strive to combine research into the medium with personal interest to design, create and complete a uniquely personal bag for which a special item or function is fulfilled.

USA: Fall River, MA 2010: Aug 18 - 22 The Depth and Breadth of Color Design in Feltmaking: Challenged by the world’s recycling problems, but worse your own studio storage cabinets full of newly purchased “ideas,” we will combine both mandatory dyeing procedures for successful coloring of wool fiber as well as developing a compatible color range in auxiliary fabrics such as rayon, cotton and silk to compliment the wool. Layering of color to produce design depth through out the felted items participants wish to create.
