ART EVENTS
Up now; a solo exhibit at Goodnow Library in Sudbury through March. The collection AMONG THE WAVES will be hung there, with some new pieces added. Goes up on the 1st and down on the 30th. No reception planned.
I'm also putting together a small group show of needle felted art for the Bolton Public Library 738 Main St Bolton in April. There will be 8 artists represented with from 1 to 4 pieces each. A public reception will be Sat April 6 10:30-12:00 with cookies and cider. Please come and see a wide variety of needle felted art.
WOOLY AFTERNOON
After you've taken instruction from me (anywhere...) you are invited to come to my studio and work on your needle felting or wooly craft during my Wooly Afternoons. It's a fun time of community and creativity. Four hours set aside to work on your thing with others working on theirs. Get feed back or ideas, learn something new or share your special gifts. Most attendees work on needle felting, but it's open to all wool arts. Sometimes somebody knits, does wool applique or spins...It's relaxed and delightful. I provide a delicious homemade dessert and coffee/tea. $20
APRIL 14 1:00-5:00 FIRST EVENT in the new studio!! Come and get reacquainted with others who haven't been together during the studio reconstruction. I'll have numerous discontinued colors of Harrisville roving to sell if you want to grow your stash. Please call or text to reserve a spot 978-875-5270.
NEEDLE FELTING ART BEGINNER WORKSHOP
Sunday April 21 9:00-3:00 with a break for lunch
Come and learn the art of 2-D needle felting. This is a great way to learn a new skill without investing in all the supplies. You'll use my supplies, learn all the basics, and leave with a completed work of art. In this workshop you'll create an 8"x10" piece based on photos you bring for inspiration. Each student works on a subject that appeals to them, not one of my choosing. This allows everyone to learn from each other while leaving with a picture they love. Needle felting is fast fun and forgiving and surprisingly easy. All you need is eye-hand coordination and a good attitude. You'll leave the workshop with a matted work of art ready for framing at home. Please bring 3-4 printed images (not still in your phone) that appeal to you and I'll help you pick one that will be easy to do in needle felting. For a beginner I recommend avoiding portraits and images with sparkling light. Bring a lunch, and I'll supply beverages and a homemade dessert.
$100 Please call 978-875-5270 to enroll and prepay.
I still sell needle felting supplies from my studio here, please call ahead to arrange a time for a quick visit - 978-897-5270.
My book "Creative Needle Felting, wool art with a painterly style" is still available. Although the publishing company closed, I have a healthy supply of books, so this is the place to get one. It's received good reviews and comments from shop owners and individuals. It is well worth the $12.95 with good clear photos and lots of inspiration, a good guide for the beginner in needle felting art. If you call me at 978-779-5005 I will be happy to ship it out on a credit card.
