Yarn and thin strips of wool and other fibers will be used to decorate the felt with lines. Pre-felted wool and other fabrics will be used to decorate the felt with cut shapes that have clearly defined outlines.

Gail became interested in wool and felt making when she began caring for a small flock of sheep at Windy Crest Farm in Granville, Ohio. Using the wool from her own sheep, she learned how to design and create many different types of felt: traditional, watercolor, needle, and Nuno. Today, her finished felt pieces include wearable art accessories and items for home décor.

September Programs

September Programs at Shepherd’s Corner

Equal Night, Equal Day: September Labyrinth Walk*
Tuesday, September 21st 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Suggested Donation: $5
Facilitated by John Seryak, Labyrinth Caretaker
Equal Night. Equal Day. Balance. All of us like when our math calculations equal the expected outcome/s. When our accounts are accurately ‘balanced’ aka ‘balance one’s checkbook’ we are satisfied that our funds are in order. Balancing other aspects of our lives is also comforting. Work, play, relaxation, relationships, nutrition, prayer… all need a balance resulting in satisfaction and comfort. The Fall Equinox is a balance of daylight and night. As we walk the labyrinth in between light and dark let us take some time to simply stop, balance standing straight and be mindful of the balance in our lives or the need for balance in our lives.
Will be held at the labyrinth, located on Wengert Road, at the second drive to the right. Please wear comfortable shoes. Everyone is welcome! No previous meditation experience or experience walking labyrinths needed. Registration, which is required, closes three business days prior to the program or when capacity is reached. Please register by calling (614) 866-4302 or via our website calendar.
