So you want to take a felting class?

I, for one, highly recommend doing so! But not all classes are the same, and you can often find yourself in over your head and discouraged. And that is the last thing I want to happen! Let me tell you how my classes are different. After all, I’ve been named the Felting Facilitator by students because my goal in class is to make your learning experience relaxed and so much fun, that you become a Fearless Felter.

Is there anything new about felting?

For myself, I will begin to bring the new techniques I learned in the Moy Mackay workshop last month to my inspiration photos of the flint hills and the tallgrass prairie.

Moy Mackay Workshop

Moy is a fantastic, down to earth instructor.

As we began our felt paintings, Moy would offer suggestions based upon her skills and education in fine art. Even those of us who had been felting for years found her help to be invaluable in elevating our interpretations in the final products.

TOUGH DECISION

I’ve made a tough decision, one which impacts me in all the feels, but one which I’ve made for the right reasons. I will not be attending or teaching at GenCon in Indianapolis this year. GenCon holds a special place in my business: I truly began my teaching at GenCon many years ago when I first discovered felting. My husband, Randy, who had a rather significant following on Twitter (his favorite form of social media), began talking with his twitterverse about what I had taught myself to do, how he loved my felt paintings, etc., and it attracted the notice...
