August Preview and July Summary
Hello Fiber Lovers -
The guild-sponsored Hat Felting Workshop is scheduled for Saturday, August 22 from 10 am to 3 pm. Jane and Ivy Campbell, both Guild members, will be your instructors. The cost of the workshop is $20 for guild members and $30 for non-members. This fee includes all necessary materials except for an additional cost for the wool fiber, if purchased (see below).
Marino wool is recommended. Participants can purchase fiber from Miss Babs (guild member Babs Ausherman) on the day of the workshop for $10 or they can supply their own; four ounces are recommended. (See her complete selection of fiber and yarn online at http://www.missbabs.com.) A choice of two hat designs is possible: beret or rolled brim. Some supplies are needed by each participants during the felting process. Please bring to the workshop: a hat form or bowl, to shape the finished hat (approximately the size of your head); scissors; paper and pencil; cloth tape measure; 2 or 3 bath towels; sponges; a small bowl or cup, for grey water; and a travel mug or thermos, for hot, soapy water.
Remember to bring a bag lunch and do wear comfortable shoes, as you will be standing a lot.
We look forward to participating ourselves and hope a number of you will join us. Register for the workshop at the upcoming Guild meeting on August 20 or with Toni Wait at the Center. Registration deadline is Friday, August 21. Thanks to Jane and Ivy for their willingness to show us this interesting and useful technique.
Contact either of us or Jane with questions. (see below)
