In this exploratory three-day workshop, students dive into the exciting and magical world of felt. The workshop will use both ancient and contemporary techniques and is suitable for both beginning felters and experienced felters looking to refine their skills and expand their creative vision. Workshop participants will discover the many fascinating ways to create pattern and design on the felted surface. Some of these include fabric inlays, colour layering and cutout, making and using of silk and wool ÒpapersÓ to achieve crisp lines, and working with a dyebath. Students will be guided through a series of sample-making projects, and all projects will be mounted in a sample book for future reference and inspiration. Participants will also select a final project such as a wall hanging or yardage, to further explore what they have learned. Jessica de Haas Jessica de Haas loves the snow, but not being cold. Growing up in the mountains of Canada necessitated keeping warm, but the lumberjack styles werenÕt for her. After more than a decade of international travel, studies in fibre arts, and experimentation in personal expression, she decided to settle down and plant the seeds of Funk Shui, creating warm felted clothing and accessories. Her art reflects her personality Ð warm, adventurous, earthy, and multifaceted. To view her work visit www.propagatelove.com.
