Artiscape
April 10-13, 2008 |
Artiscape is an annual retreat that includes a variety of events and more than 60 workshops featuring instructors from all over the country. Artiscape is sponsored by Lisa Ohmer, owner of European Papers, a paper arts and bookbinding shop in Columbus, Ohio. I am excited to have the opportunity to be a part of this creative event! I will be teaching three different classes throughout the weekend – class descriptions and project pictures are below. |

![]() Participants will complete a small velvet sachet and several additional pressed velvet designs that can be incorporated into other projects at a later date. A portfolio of written information that includes resources for materials and a description of techniques presented in class will be available to each participant. |

Participants will learn and practice two simple techniques for making wool felt - needle felting and wet feltmaking. Both techniques will then be used to complete two small projects; a unique ‘junque style' pincushion and an embellished eyeglass case. Don't panic! The eyeglass case is already sewn – you will simply needlefelt a design for the front. Participants will leave this class with an understanding of the history and techniques utilized in the feltmaking process and a portfolio of written information that includes resources for materials, references, and a description of techniques presented in class. |
