New Dyeing and Wet Felting Class

We have some exciting wet felting classes coming up on June 2!

In the morning, we will be repeating our felted wall hanging class.  This is an opportunity to let your imagination run free and create an incredible piece of felted art.  We will have several examples to get your creative juices flowing, then you can choose from alpaca and wool fibers, stones, beads, or whatever else you want to include in your piece.  Feel free to bring anything you might like to include in your wall hanging.  Pictured here are several hangings created in class last year and by our class instructor, local felt artist Karen Simpson.  You can also see pictures of the works in progress on our Facebook page.

In the afternoon, we will be doing an all new class for Peaceful Heart Alpacas.  Karen Simpson will be teaching us some new techniques for creating dyed and felted scarves.  You will take 2 white silk scarves and transfer the patterns and colors from mens’ silk neckties to the scarves to create wonderful designs and end up with fabulous one of a kind scarves.  (If you have some silk ties you would like to recycle in this creative way, please bring them.  If not, there will be plenty to choose from provided in the class.)  Next you will take a predyed silk scarf OR one of the previously mentioned scarves and “needle felt” wool or alpaca fiber to the scarf and then wet felt the fiber to cause shrinkage and create another unique scarf.  This class promises to become another farm favorite.

Join us on June 2 for a fun and creative day.  Take one or both classes.  The felted wall hanging class will meet from 8am-12pm.  The dyed and felted scarf class meets from 1-5pm.  Lunch will be provided between the classes for those attending both.   Class sizes are limited (particularly for the wall hanging class, we can accommodate more in the scarf class.)  A $25 deposit will reserve your space in either or both classes.  You can register online, by phone, or at the farm.
