Registration is now open for the four online felting classes I’ll be offering in Spring 2015.
The Surface Design Online class has gotten bigger every time I’ve offered it….there is always just one more idea that comes up, related to the materials. Because of this and student feedback from the Fall sessions, I’ve extended the class to be 8 weeks long. We have two built in studio weeks. These are break weeks, for you to catch up on the previous two weeks worth of materials, or to implement these new techniques in a project. I think it will be a wonderful addition. A comfortable sense of community builds up in the classroom, and having a few more weeks together will be great.
Felt Bags Online remains the same, covering everything you need to know to make a great seamless bag. These can be any style- open market bag, messenger style with flaps, or more sculptural.
Felt illuminated Online will take a different format this Spring. It will be released over three weeks, with week one covering wool breeds and surface techniques for great illumination, week two covers drum, bell and empire style lampshades, and week three covers ball styles as well as more unusual lampshades. There are two different methods for resist construction and layout, in order to create your perfect light!
Felt Jewelry Online will be available this Spring! It is also taking a different format and will now be a four week class, with each week covering a different basic aspect of feltmaking; flat felt, cords, beads and balls…. The felt jewelry class is best suited to beginning feltmakers or intermediate feltmakers looking for a light and pleasurable class..

I love teaching feltmaking…and this online format has been wonderful to be able to connect with feltmakers all over the world. I hope you’ll join us in February!
Warm wishes,
Fiona
