Feltmaking: Vases, Vessels & Bowls with Leslie Granbeck

Everwood Farmstead Foundation is proud to present the Artist Workshop "Feltmaking: Vases, Vessels & Bowls" with Leslie Granbeck on Saturday, September 13th from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm!

Learn the fascinating art of seamless wet felting. Using wool and a variety of other natural fibers, participants will felt a small vessel to hold trinkets, chocolates or to simply brighten up any shelf. Choose bright or natural colors, then “sculpt” your vessel into any shape from organic to contemporary. You can even make it reversible. Please note: some physical stamina is needed for felting classes.

Leslie Granbeck is a feltmaker and instructor from Minneapolis. Since 2007, Leslie has been sharing her knowledge of fibers and their magical transformation into felt. She teaches traditional wet felting, nuno felting, and her favorite – three-dimensional seamless felting. Her classes are full of color, creativity and adventure. They also include a free workout as feltmaking is a “physical art”. When not teaching, you’ll find Leslie in her home studio working on new fiber projects. To learn more, visit: www.fiberenvy.net
