April 18-20, 2025 Imagine focused time to work side by side other felters for fun, support and inspiration. Creston is
beautiful in the spring. It is likely to be green and warm earlier than many other parts of interior BC. We’ll
be surrounded by trees and a creek with lots of windows for light, beautiful views, and nature breaks.
We’ll make our own self-directed projects with the intention of playing with the alchemy of acid dyes on
felt and eco-print on felt.
Full days of felting, talking felt, acid dyeing, eco-printing and more felt. We’ll make samples of white
wool with additions- fabrics, fibres, silks, and then submersion acid dye and/or eco-print them. (a few
different times so you can make more samples to test)
You’ll work independently on a felt piece(s). Large, small, multiple, 3D- it’s up to you. Each person will
have access to two large tables. By the end of the weekend you will have the option of submersion acid
dyeing your entire piece and or eco-printing it or not! The possibilities are endless. This is a working,
experimental weekend, not an instructional class. We will all have skills and ideas to share and show.
