Drin and her sister Carol of Hand in Hand will be doing their final workshop of the year this Saturday, teaching you the fine art of Wet Felting. these scarves are a perfect opportunity to create unusual pieces of art for your friends and family for Christmas. The beauty is it doesn't take quite as long as knitting something; but, is beautiful just the same.

See Everyone is still smiling after the class. I thought it was fabulous how different the creations were, even though we used the same base ingredients.

Here's all the DETAILS

Art Class

On Saturday morning and afternoon, we met under the Redwoods where Drin and Carol showed us the ins and out of Fine Felting.

The wind was perfect, with a slight breeze, and we all listened carefully as they explained how they got started, and some of their techniques. We pulled apart the cotton candy textured fiber, and enjoyed the wet fun of it all.

I loved working with the roving, deciding where I wanted to put what color. It was a little like fingerpainting with unspun wool.

The class was such a success that we will be having another one, later this summer, September 15, 2007 from 10-1pm. The cost will be $75.00, almost all of the supplies are included, so make sure you call Now to reserve a spot. 916.714.7719
