Autumn Greetings!! The big news of the moment:  I have been accepted into the American Craft Council’s San Francisco show!  This multi-day event will be held in August, 2014 and I will be posting more frequent updates in the months to come leading up to the show.  I’m really excited about the opportunity and look forward to showing my decorative fiber work in San Francisco next year. Meanwhile…..Things are happening in the studio right now, including this new line of felted scarves – they will be on view in a group Wearable Art Pop-Up show at Signature Contemporary Craft Gallery…

A Recent Felting Workshop….

This past weekend I facilitated another “nuno-felting” workshop.  The experienced participants had room to spread out in this workshop so it was possible to work with a larger-than-usual piece of cloth.  Keeping the palette fairly simple, the focus of this session was on a few basic surface design elements: the dot, the line, and the circle.  3 ideas, executed within the same format (base dimensions & materials), resulted (of course!) in 2 very different surface design solutions – each having its own distinct character.  Here are a some images:

Spring Workshop!

This past weekend’s workshop was loaded with creative energy and enthusiasm.  It was a delight to see each piece unfold from layout to completion and I was (and still am) inspired by the intensity and attention that everyone brought to their projects.  As you can see from the gallery below, the results were wonderful!  Thanks to the participants, GiGi, Hellenne and Libby who made my experience as a facilitator sheer joy!
