Workshop Calendar

USA: Harrisville, New Hampshire 2010: September 1-3

A Feltmaker’s Bag of Tricks: Participants will survey a variety of techniques applicable to durable felt bag making for all sizes. 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.

Layering of color to produce design depth through out the felted items participants wish to create.
