Workshop 1: New Wave Fibers; Soy Silk, Milk Latte, Ingeo, Optim and Bamboo are extraordinary, cutting edge fibers available to spinners today. Puzzled by how to proceed with such silky and sensuous fibers? Spend an enjoyable day trying out helpful techniques that will enable you to spin and blend these fibers with ease, maximizing their potential. As an added bonus, you’ll get to experience hand painting a length of Soy Silk sliver with beautiful, natural dyes. Sharon Costello Workshop 2: Painting with Fiber - Felting Techniques for Landscapes and other Imagery
Create an impressionistic landscape, still life or portrait in wool. In this workshop, work with your
favorite painting, photo or your imagination and translate your image in fiber. Starting with a palette of
colored wool, we will build a colorful background using traditional wet felt techniques (with a few twists.) Then we will learn to add
imagery, line, shade, highlights and texture by applying assorted fibers with a felting needle.
