WHAT'S UP FOR 2010:
Greetings my dear!
We are well into the winter, & I am finally getting a perspective
on these coming seasons...
Just emerging from a year away, slept for most of it & find
myself able to IMAGINE again.
YES!! Life has been a bit much for most of this new century!
So... I shall be back at Saturday Market, at least once a month,
and am scheduling workshops, mainly in my immediate vicinity.
There are proposals out for farflung places--
you'll find out about those as soon as I do!
ONGOING FELT WORKSHOPS AT MECCA
5th St., next to the Amtrak Station, Eugene OR
541/302-1810, ask for Mija
I'll be here once a month, 1-4 pm on a Sunday afternoon,
instructing various aspects of felting & needlefelting.
This is the IDEAL WORKSHOP ENVIRONMENT, MECCA is a recycled art
supply depot.
I'll be posting each workshop right after the previous one (2
have already happened)...
MECCA
Eugene OR, next to the train station on 5th St.
541/302-1810
Sunday 16 May 2010, 1-4 pm
PASHTUN/Afghan Rebel Cap
We step here into the world of WET FELT!
Working from 2dimensional decorated pieces,
we'll go on to construct a warm hat that becomes
most.
This project is a useful excuse for:
an easy entrance to traditional feltmaking
using wool & yarn for paint & pencils
enhancing our spatial relations skills
becoming proficient at OVERCASTING!
... and of course our felting needles will be
at hand...
And then you get to sashay home all gorgeous in
your NEW CAP~~
