2-day Felted Shroom or Moth
PLEASE NOTE: This workshop takes place on BOTH 2/21 and 2/22 from 11am-2pm
There is such fascination in the tiniest of flora and fauna. In this woodland adventure we will be grabbing our imaginary microscope, an array of colorful fibers and creating a creature or fungi of giant proportion. Makers will learn the skills and techniques to create their choice of 3D felted moth, butterfly or mushroom. Day one will be constructing bodies, wings, stems and mushy hats. Day two will be saturated in colorful fiber choices to adorn your felted sculpture. Level: Beginner on up.
Peyote Stitch Bracelet
In this workshop, we explore one of the stitches used in the ancient tradition of beading. Makers will learn the Peyote stitch. A stitch that fools the brain into believing a loom was used when in fact there is not one. Design your bracelet using a special graph paper and a beautiful selection of beads. Level: Beginner on up.
Vision Quest Collage & Encaustic
The year is wrapping up and our minds have a beautiful habit of looking to the future and what we can do to better our lives and design imagery to inspire us. Encaustics and collaging lends it self well to nestling into these ideas and playing with the layers and concepts to help bring these manifestations to the surface. In this workshop, Rosie will teach techniques and help makers to explore ideas and how to build a unique piece of art that explores these visions. $85 per maker, includes $10 off your first beverage.
