| April 23-25, 2010 Resist/Felt/Bead - The Slow Felt Movement Ann Arbor Fiber Guild Ann Arbor, MI Ann Arbor Fiberarts Guild Nancy Hedberg hedbergla@gmail.com Our workshop will start off by introducing and learning to felt sheets of fine Australian merino needle punch batts and move quickly into the wondrous world of dye pots, joyful dye colors, and safe dyeing techniques as work tables of weird and wonderful resist tools are unveiled and explained. We’ll spend the whole first intensive day creating dozens of dyed resist samples in 12-16 different dye baths. On the second day we will figure ways to resist dye larger pieces of felted wool and through the project of a felted, beaded and stitched Brooch, will think smaller and more intimate as well as responding to the colors and shapes of the felt surface. The third day – the dreaded workshop question – “What to do with all this beautiful stuff” will be creatively approached with hands-on demonstrations of other project ideas such as felted books, book covers, jewelry shapes, needle cases, and gasp, ART. A mini-demo of framing felt artwork will also be included |
