Guest Instructor: Nicola Brown aka Clasheen. Coming to us from Ireland (Warning: What with Sile and Nicola in the studio, you might walk out with an Irish accent!)
Nicola will unravel all her secrets of wet felting and in the process you will make a fantastical piece of jewelry (or more if you are a speedster). You will create multilayered felt balls, beads, cords, and see how found objects–glass, stones, bits of leather etc–results in a totally unique piece.
Fee: $80. (materials list sent after registration)

It’s costume time and Kira is here to help. Bring in items to alter and adapt or sew a costume from scratch. Kira once turned a big old dress and two sweaters into a Harry Potter robe and striped scarf (for an adult). She will help you create magic too.
