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.

As a knitter, I’ve been intrigued by felting – and have yet to try it. Perfect timing, too – gifts for the holidaze!
just the thing needed to get the creativity in swing for holiday gifts. have always loved felting, but have been too intimidated to give it a try.
I love felting and I have no idea really what I’m doing. Sometimes it turns out great and sometimes not so much. How fantastic to have a class. Made some adorable Easter eggs this past spring. Have my eyes on figuring how to make some snowmen for the upcoming holiday/winter celebrations!
OOH! Looks like such a fun craft, especially during my low low budget season! I’m always looking for fun ways to get creative and give a gift that is actually unique! And its getting cold here in Colorado and I need some indoor fun! Pick me Pick Me! Cheers!
I’ve also been intrigued by felting. I saw a demo on tv and was interested in trying. I love the felted etsy items I see. I’d love to win!
Oh, I have been putting off signing up for this class for the last week and I don’t know why. Wait, yes I do. My inner self is telling me I will fail miserably and it will have been a waste. Of time. Of energy. Of belief in myself. Yuck. So, I’m telling them to shut the hell up right now and entering in the hopes of if it is meant to be, then I will JUST DO IT. Heck, I think I’ll just do it even if I don’t win. We’ll see.
Oh what fun that class will be! I hope, I hope, I hope… ;-)
Oh, I’d LOVE to learn felting! Crossing my fingers…
I’ve been itching to learn how to felt…looks like the perfect project for my %yo daughter and me <3!
I love felting and haven’t knit in a while. I have been thinking about starting again and this would be the perfect inspiration!
I’d love to learn something new…felting sounds so fun! Pick me! :)
