THE ART OF FELTING

August 11-15, 2008

Denise Richard

Students will begin their exploration of felting with a crash course in learning how to dye fleece to create a unique colour palette. This newly dyed fibre will then be used in learning fundamental felting techniques. Through hands-on demonstrations and under Denise’s guidance, students will learn to felt 2 and 3-D as well as felting with a secondary fibre such as silk. Finally students will learn how to felt with a secondary structure such as gauze or organza. Open to all levels of experience.

Note: Materials will be purchased directly from the instructor (approx. $50.00 per person).

Fee: $375 plus HST Member / $400 plus HST Non Member
