This summer we will be offering two action packed weeks of fiber fun. Fiber artist extraordinaire Cheryl Flett will be teaching both weeks. The only things students will need to bring is a snack and a beach towel, which will be used with some of the felting projects. All projects and supplies will be yours to keep when the week is over.
The Week at a Glance:
Monday: Learn about wooly fiber and what to do with it. Dye wool with Kool-Aid.
Tuesday: Prepare dyed wool by carding. Spin yarn from a homemade spindle, which you can keep to take home with you.
Wednesday: Learn to use your wool to wet felt - a vessel, a pouch, beads, etc...
Thursday: Begin needle felting. We will learn how to safely use this special needle to create a picture, landscape, etc..
Friday: Finish up projects and start more if time permits.
Notes:
Each camp session will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Please be on time in dropping off / picking up students. There is much work to be done before and after classes, so we appreciate you being timely to help us keep to our schedule.
It is encouraged that all students bring a snack and a drink (if you tend to get hungry between meals). This will help keep our "motor" going throughout the class time.
Each day please bring a beach towel to be used with projects. This should be an old towel.
Please do not wear your best dress clothing. Dress comfortably in clothes that you won't mind getting a bit wet or dye on them.
