CONTEST CLOSED.
Most of you will recognize Emily from many posts past. She is teaming up with Nicole to offer this workshop – perfect timing for hand made gifts for the upcoming holidays. I wanted to help her get the word out as she is really an amazing teacher, so I asked if she would like to give away a spot on my blog and she said, “Sure! Let’s give away two!” :)
WORKSHOP DETAILS from Em:
This is a fantastical, fun introduction to felting! During the course you will be shown the nitty-gritty of what turns fluffy piles of wool into magical felted goods.
With that knowledge you will be guided to make several variations of felt for our projects: round felt beads, a layered felt flower, a flat felt scarfette and a dimensional felt mobile-phone pouch.
Armed with your new skills you will be ready to felt your little hearts out (warning: felting is highly addictive!) and fall in love with this delicious art form. Even if you have felted before, this workshop is definitely going to have you saying “AH-HA!”
Nicole Lawrence is an artist of life and a long time felting goddess. Her felt creations can be found in fancy galleries all over – with 13 years of wool behind her, she kinda knows what she’s doing!
Emily Falconbridge is a lover of all things messy & artsy, with her latest obsession being felting (thanks to Nicole!). Mama to three little sprouts, she loves a good craft that the kiddies can do alongside her.
THE WORKSHOP WILL RUN FROM NOV 26 – DEC 4, with download-able lessons, inspiration gallery and access to the teachers. you can work at your own pace with the classroom ‘open’ until the end of 2010.
As this is an online workshop, you will need to source your own supplies for the class, they will not be included.
WOOL KITS are available in Nicole’s etsy shop with the perfect amount of wool needed for all 4 projects (and yummy colour choices!), or you are free to source your own wool. Other supplies needed for the workshop can be found at home (ie old towel, bubble-wrap etc) – a full list will be emailed upon registration.
COST OF CLASS IS $25
More info on the class can be found here.
