Two-Day Felting Workshop with Melissa Arnold Offered in Mokelumne Hill
Mokelumne Hill, CA...Melissa Arnold, a textile designer who’s an innovator of new ideas and fearless experimentation, will share her knowledge of working with wool fibers and the ancient process of felting at a two-day workshop at Petroglyphe Gallery in Mokelumne Hill. Sign-ups have begun for this first-come, first-get-to-go event. ....
On Saturday, March 31, and Sunday, April 1, the two-day basic felting workshop, from 9:00 am to 4:40 pm, will include learning to create a number of felted samples using different techniques that can be employed in making a scarf. The first day will end with a scarf layout. The second day, students will felt their scarves, experimenting with some of the techniques learned from day one. Arnold says, “come with a willingness to play and experiment, and plan to have fun.”
