Lines and Shapes in Felt: Felting Class
This program has been cancelled. We will host a class led by Gail in the spring of 2022.
Saturday, October 2nd 1:30 – 3:30 pm
$20 program fee *7 participant maximum*
Learn how to make a flat piece of felt (6″x6″) out of wool and soapy water that is surface designed with lines and shapes. 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. The finished project can be displayed as a wall hanging or used as a small trivet.
Facilitated by: Gail Maraman
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.
*Visitors when inside our barn or in close proximity to others please wear your mask. Masks are most essential in times when physical distancing is difficult, including indoors or in crowded areas. We ask that you join us in this healthy practice when participating in our programs. Events & programs may be impacted by the pandemic.*
Join us September 25th from noon to 3:00 pm for our annual event.
Last year’s Shepherds Fest was a series of YouTube videos about Shepherd’s Corner Ecology Center. This year we are hopeful to have it in person!
This event is free and open to the public. We ask that you wear a mask when inside the barn or in very close proximity to those not in your group.
Keep up to date on the event by checking our website or our Facebook page.
Let Nature Nurture Your Spirit
Are there any lessons to be learned and kept alive from our experience of the last year? Many of us found solace in nature during the pandemic. Shepherd’s Corner offers a peaceful land where you can walk, sit, listen to Earth, watch the sheep, or walk a labyrinth. Come visit us and feed your soul with nature’s gifts. We are offering 20-60 minute facilitated visits. Call to set up a time Monday – Friday. A donation is appreciated.
