Felted Slippers
Sat Nov 16th 9 - 5
FULL - there may be a participant looking for someone to take her place . She's not sure yet, but we're taking a wait list in case she can't make it and someone else is interested in her spot. Call the shop at 802-288-8081 10 - 5 if you might be interested in her spot.
Learn to felt a pair of slippers to keep your toes toasty this winter - or to give as a wonderful holiday gift!
Using 100% wool, hot water and soap, I'll walk you thru every step to design a pair of slippers to fit you perfectly! From making a pattern to laying out the wool, adding design (if desired) to the tops and then felting them into a durable, warm and soft slipper.
READ CLASS DESCRIPTION AND PRICE Instruction fee includes the 100 gms of 1 color of wool to felt the slippers, and I'll have out my bags of "embellishment" colors so you can add a design during the felting, if you like. If not, you can create a solid color pair of slippers and then embellish at home with some stitching or some needle felting! Depending on how you work, you will either completely felt both slippers or, for those of you who work a bit more slowly, you may only completely felt 1 slipper, but will have the second slipper laid out (so its the same as the first one!) and at least felted to a "soft felt" stage so you can easily complete it at home. Instruction fee: $100

FULL - if you want to be on the waitlist, call the store at 802-288-8081. Jen....your spot is reserved, but I had to take this off the website because it is full - so you'll need to call the shop (or stop by) to pay.
Learn how to plan a project, wind the warp, dress the loom, and weave on a multiple harness loom, all while weaving either a scarf or table runner - your choice!
From figuring out how much yarn you need to troubleshooting tension issues or broken threads, establishing good weaving technique for the best selvedges, to hemstitching or other possible "finishes" to your piece, I"ll walk you thru every aspect of the weaving process during this 8 session class.
READ ABOUT CLASS DETAILS WE supply a 4 harness floor loom for you to use during the class so you do not need any equipment, or previous knowledge to join us. You'll have a pick of 2 projects and among several different patterns to choose from for your scarf or a table runner (your choice). I'll walk you thru everything you need to learn to weave. From planning a project to winding the warp, dressing the loom, getting good selvedges, troubleshooting problems and even finishing steps! There is no possibility for you to "make up" a class outside of hours if you miss one, so please don't register if you will be out of town for any of the Thursdays during the class dates EXCEPT Halloween and Thanksgiving, when we won't meet anyway! Class fee includes instruction, extensive handouts and use of the loom: $225 You'll need to purchase your materials for the project the first night of class - so that cost depends on your choices but it could be as low as $25.
